My bad days are a bit of adventures. This is how I approach them.
Asking myself - Is it really a bad day? - I ask this question to switch my perspective to that of an observer. I recollect how I've been able to cross some worse days in the past. It makes my current problem look relatively small.
Zooming out - Bad days to me occur as a result of a problem which, in 80% of the cases, was fairly predictable. It is funny that sometimes I tend to look at them real close rather than looking at them wholistically. I zoom out of the problem and analyse what caused them in the first place. This gives the liberty to think of fresh approaches to achieve the same objective.
Looking forward to challenging days - I slowly started preferring challenging days because they demanded action. Usually those actions improve me and I learn something important from them. This shifted my mindset of problem -> challenges -> adventure.
I also believe rest is important to do whatever I wanted to do. I pull an all-nighter only if I do it out of passion & within reasonable capacity. In all other cases, I would not let it affect adversely. I retrospect and allocate time separately.

Thank you for sharing, sounds like very good advice. Still need to work on not feeling guilty I don't study enough on my free time :).
