So, let us start with a simple question.
If I am in a boat and want to spent the night in it in the middle of a sea, what precaution or lights I can make to be safe from some other boats hitting mine?

There is no one, single answer - the nav rules applicable are dependent on WHERE you are, in or out of COLREGs, etc. Also, there is a HUGE difference between what "precautions" to take and what "lights" you are required to display for safety. It also depends on if you are
sailing,
under power,
drifting, anchored, etc...
There are no simple answers to complex issues.
