You can't completely get rid of Reading Life, but in the Kobo reader settings, be sure to uncheck the items in Social Settings (people reading book icon) and uncheck the appropriate boxes in Notifications (flag icon). Unfortunately, you still can't stop the Reading Life "curtain" from coming down if you swipe a page down from too high up.
As for reading at night, the night mode even with the brightness turned down to minimum is still hard on the eyes and lights up the room at night. You should download and install Screen Filter to be able to further dim the screen. Since Kobo increased the minimum brightness available in one of the updates, I find Screen Filter is hardly enough. I use Aldiko for a reader, which has its own brightness control that goes a lot lower than Kobo's. The Aldiko reader also has more useful features than Kobo's.
