All of Equinox's abilities benefit Equinox directly in night mode, including (and especially) Pacify, which is one of the best survivability skills I've seen to date (second only to Mesa's Shatter Shield as a direct damage reduction skill). Combinded with the occaisional Mend for a little healing, Equinox in night mode is actually pretty tanky.

So yes, if you want to play him/her/it solo, I recommend shifting to night mode and staying there. It is much more survivable than day mode when solo.

That said, against low level content Day mode remains very survivable too. But when solo, Day mode is a one-trick pony (Main) while Night mode gets goot use from all 3 abilities.
