I don't mind night much. It can be very refreshing. I try to avoid dusk and dawn; that's when a lot of hazardous animals are most active.
In the big city it's less of an issue. But I did pick my route just the other night based on how well-lit the road would be and the likelihood of a deer popping out unexpectedly. Adjust your speed and cover your brake going in to intersections, even if you don't see anyone there.
