How illegal is working off the clock

I’m hourly so supposed to log all hours worked. However, my job is task based and sometimes I’m still not done at the end of a 12-14 hour shift. Last night I was still not finished at 9pm. We can technically only work the hours of 7am-9pm. But I’ve been taking a nap and working again at midnight for a few hours or so off the clock. There is no time stamps unless I send an email. But I’m wondering “how” illegal this is. Like just potential to lose my current job or like a criminal conviction where it could impact future jobs?
