I'm not an instructor, but here's a few comments based on my night rating training.
I found it a good drill when the instructor flipped the master switch off without warning :-)
Try flying with and witout moonlight. Wery illustrative. I personally never fly at night with less than a quarter moon.
If possible, land at an airport that has radio controlled lightning. I had never tried this before, can be quite tricky to send e.g. five clicks with the right interval, and if goes wrong, you sometimes have to wait for a while before you can try again.
When doing touch'n gos, if possible, have the tower adjust the lights, all the way from off to very bright. Remarkable how you can actually land with no runway lights if there's some moon. Also remarkable how difficult it is with all lights at full strength.
Do a full simulated engine failure. With some moon, you can actually spot where to land.
Treat every such flight as an IFR flight. I was tought to fully check all navaids and other stuff that you don't do when flying at day. E.g. listen to the morse ID on the ADFs / VORs / ILS that are available while on the ground.
Personally, I felt it just as easy to land at night as during the day.
PS
Then there's the emergency landing procedure for a very dark night: At 50', turn on the landing light(s). If what you see looks good, leave on. Otherwise, turn off again :-)
