Small breed dogs are particularly high risk for sudden low glucose levels when they skip meals, so I would suggest waking him and making sure you at least offer food. If he refuses the food, then just leave it out to make sure that if he gets hungry in the middle of the night that he has something to eat. Try not to make it a habit however because leaving food like can cause accidents to occur in his crate.
