Yes. The technology for that is called VNC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing However, you will have to leave your Windows PC running over the night. An alternative to VNC is RDP.
I also believe this here might help you as well: Is it possible to use remote desktop from Windows 7 to Ubuntu?

1I personally like Remmina for managing remote sessions. I believe it handles VNC and RDP – Mitch May 18 '16 at 18:05

Yeah, Remmina is an option. You can install it by copy pasting 'sudo apt install remmina' in the terminal or by searching for remmina in the software center. – Mario Kamenjak May 18 '16 at 18:11

Consider that this distinct possibility might be totally denied by employers security protocols . – pfeiffep May 18 '16 at 18:54

Employer security can theoretically deny anything. Most good sysadmins work on a 'ban everything then whitelist' policy. – Mario Kamenjak May 19 '16 at 14:53
