Well, I didn't sleep well the day before last time and did not get to bed early enough. My thinking abilites were greatly affected, esp during reading comp and critical reasoning. I thought gettting some better rest the night before could help my chances, but test anxiety could prove to be a stronger force once again.
My essays for both UT and Wash U are pretty much completed. I just wanted the additional time for perfecting them and working on my apps.
I guess my main question is whether a 20-30 point increase on my GMAT score looks better than a highly crafted essay? Any thoughts?

Anxiety will get you again if you aren't prepared, regardless of whether you sleep well. So divide your time between taking practice tests and working on your essay.
