Mentioning staying at the airport overnight, can I get my Schengen visa application refused?

Mentioning staying at the airport overnight, can I get my Schengen visa application refused? - Student with documents and laptop happy about getting into university

I know that what is done is done, but just want to assure myself.

I submitted my Schengen visa in Spanish consulate in London today. The officer ask me about one night that I didn't have an accommodation.

I am flying from London to Athens at 23:59 on 11th October (yes, Athens, this is a part of my trip) and mentioning in my application that I will stay at the airport to wait for an early flight (at 7:00 day 12th Oct). The officer looks hesitant, what worries me.

Does anyone have experience about this? Please tell me if I should be fine. I just want to be honest. Will that cost me?
