What DAW do you use? Some, like flstudio, have auto-backups.

There is a chance it's in your AppData\Roaming for pc or Library/Preferences for mac.
Since it was open all night, perhaps it had time to save a version? Who knows. I have crashed Ableton a lot, but I usually have a saved version.
I've been trained to do it since I grew up with Scream Tracker, which crashed non-stop. Anytime you write something you like, ctrl+s! I even make a habit of incremental save files whenever I'm about to make any drastic changes, so if I didn't like what I did, I can easily go back to an earlier version.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the links! And yeah, saving regularly is a good habit... one that the advent of auto-saving has ironically cured me of.
