If you are, as you say "at sea" it would be unusual to "stop for the night". You will be sailing 24/7 until you reach your destination. An exception would be "heaving to" in severe weather or in the case of extreme fatigue.
Show the proper lights for the situation and then trust the other guy is keeping watch. Hoist a radar reflector too. As mentioned, technically you may be in violation of colregs.. but it's not an uncommon thing to be doing.
