Definitely from time to time. I believe Seneca advised that practicing negative visualization could be done "in bed, while waiting for sleep to come".

It would probably be, I think, a bit morbid to constantly think about the bad things that could happen. I like to compare it as a meditation exercise, once or twice a day, reflecting on what we have, making sure we don't take anything for granted, contemplating the bad things...
