Whether he's used it overnight, I don't know, there is no way to tell
as the litter is underneath, but what I do know is that he does not
wake me at 4 a.m now.
Maybe just the knowledge that it's there is enough for him.
We were going to seriously fall out about him waking me during the
night to go out for toilet duties. The next step would have been "I put
you outside all night"
I would not like to do that, and imagine his horror without his own
bed and duvet ;-)

Good idea! If he takes to it and uses it, you could try to gradually
increase the proportion of litter in it, so that eventually he'll use
regular litter only.

Normally, when it's warmish he is out and about and can toilet outside which
he prefers. Even when it's very cold he will go out for this, so he needn't
tell me that if he's kept in for a few hours overnight it will burst his
bladder as I know it won't. He just does not like to use a litterbox.
