There is only one scenario where I would want to travel at night in a survival situation: in the desert on relatively level or only gently undulating terrain.

Otherwise, I don't see the point, unless I would be intending on making a bad situation worse. A rock rolls under your foot, you don't notice that 6" step-down or the little erosion gully, and you sprain/break your ankle or leg. Turn to speak to someone with you and walk off even a 3' cliff. If a bear was stalking you, would you know? Do you even know if you're going in the right direction?

How does getting injured, getting more tired, more stressed, possibly colder, possibly more dehydrated, or an injury help the situation?

As we've all armchair-quarterbacked, JUST STOP MOVING, for pete's sake!

And then there's possible searchers... someone in a search plane that is low on fuel thinks he saw you or your tracks just before sunset. The searchers go back at dawn and if you had been there, you're gone now. Somewhere. If you've managed to travel one mile per hour for ten hours, they've got an additional 80 miles of area to search.

Just find/build some shelter and build a fire. If nothing else, you'll be warmer, and also be able to see the oncoming bears, wolves, and zombies.
