Answer
Hello Adria,

Hm, your water dragons should be fine with no food, but they can't survive real well no, without some type of heating.  Do you have a timer that you could use to just set their lights to a 12 hour on & a 12 hour off cycle for them?
You could leave some worms in for them in a large dish so they aren't completely without.  
They don't need light at night, as they can't sleep well with lighting.  You could use a ceramic heat emitter for heating if your tank gets too cool at night.  Normally they can get into the 70's with no problems.
