Run Block heater all night, or timed?

Hey all, wondering if Mercedes intended (designed) the block heater to be on all the time, or intended for a timer? It is not thermostatically controlled, but the element is small so max temp is likley low...
So, what do you do?
For those with timers, how long does the heater take in single digits and below to get her warm?
Thanks!
First winter with a 300D..
Nat
