I am planning a trip in September where overnight travel is recommended to save precious sightseeing time. I am traveling from Prague to Krakow. I am not sure how far in advance I can book sleeping accommodations for the train. It's important that I get the train travel right since it will effect my hotel reservations if not booked correctly......I might end up without a hotel room for a night if I can't take the overnight train. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would really love some advise on this. Thanks!

This night train is scheduled to run at least through the annual schedule change on Dec. 8/9, barring any unforeseen emergencies. A direct daytime train also runs through the end of September (7 hours). While some types of sleeping accommodations could fill up by the day the train departs, it sounds like you'll be prepared to reserve a month or two ahead and should have no trouble getting a spot.
