I wrote a lot when I was younger, but that stressed me so much out and was not good for me. Instead I made both days and nights into parts with specific goals to meet. The goal for the night was this: "My goal is not to sleep, only to relax and stay in bed between time X and time Y. It didn't go many nights before I slept through the whole night.

Do what is right for you! (You know best).
