I believe you can either: 1) Use "apt-get -d upgrade", so the files will be downloaded but not installed. So you can run an apt-get upgrade in the morning while disconnected, since all files were fetched, and then you'll bne able to interact with dpkg. 2) Use "apt-get -y upgrade", in which case a "yes" will be assumed in all questions... But I think there are situations in which a yes won't help, and then apt-get will abort (but you'll still have all files downloaded an will be able to install whatever was missing in the morning).
