Ya that would be the terrier in her, sometimes they can be stinkers!!
You can do it, don't stress out about it- trust me it will get easier!!
What is she barking at when she barks at night? Do you have her sleep in your bed, crate, play pen?
I know its hard, but you HAVE to be the dominant one- do not let her win!! Be strong!
During the day does she get a lot of play time? The more activity her day has the more she will sleep, if you can like an hour or so before you go to bed, really play with her, tire her out. Then she should sleep well. Also when she barks you have to be stern, tell her No- if bites you, growls or does something after you have told her No, can you put her in a crate and put a blanket over it?
Im not sure if she is crate trained, but I highly rec it!! Peanut was crate trained and to this day he loves his crate!!
