Been there (long time ago): no sleep, server crashing, etc..
First: get some sleep. Not sleep; but time-off periods. You'll need to think / do / whatever other stuff in your life that will be slowing and draining your energy (well, what's left of it).
Second: Get help. Someone you trust you can tell how to restart / reboot / do quick fix for the app while you are /away.
Third: Don't trust the stats. At least not what you think your eyes see: If there is rising trend, probably is just a spike. Stuff does not usually grow "linearly" or "exponentially". It grows by growth quants. That is, you get into the 1-2k users, then jump into 4-6k, then 10-15k and so on.
Fourth: Going up need energy (time, effort, money, sweat, energy). Going down wastes energy and is much easier and faster. This is like climbing. So be sure to have something built-in that makes going down harder, like rewards for daily/weekly players.
Fifth: Enjoy. Learn. Repeat.
Hope this helps.
