If you're nearsighted, the effects are much worse after dark, so if you need glasses to correct your vision, wear them.
I always do so and although I can legally drive during the day without correction, I always wear my glasses for driving.
Other than that, drive at speeds that are comfortable for you.
Tailgaters are much more irritating at night.
Ignore them or lose them, just as you would during the day.
With advancing age comes declining night vision. I've noticed this myself. Nothing to do other than accommodate to it while remaining safe on the road.
If you can avoid driving through unfamiliar areas at night, then do so.
Pretty hard during the northern winter, though.
