You could have left the lights on which drained the battery(Dont forget the interior light)
Sometimes if its a cold night and the battery is on its way out it will loose charge.
Have you local car shop do a drop test on your battery ,it could be that its on its last legs and needs replacing ,the jump start just got you going again .
