More than likely the alternator is defective. Drive to your local auto parts store where they will check your charging system for free.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY 1994 VANDEM plas. It was my altenator belt was not tight enough to maintain a full charge. It took me two years to find the problem. It can also be the battery has a dead cell which will drain it overnight. Can also be some light is staying on and pulling power from the battery. Also a stuck relay will drain the battery.

Why does your 2002 Saturn radio clock stay on?

If just the clock display is remaining on, it's not a problem and is probably deliberate. The LCD of the clock uses so little electrical energy that it is effectively not a drain on the battery AT ALL. Note that LCD watches use a battery that is the size of a dime, and last over a year. The battery in your Saturn stores thousands of times more electrical energy than does the little watch battery. On the other hand... If the radio is staying on, you either have a problem with the keyswitch, or someone has wired the radio to a "hot" connection.
