Not practical. It would be akin to telling a taxi driver to only drive when the traffic is the lightest.
The press runs 24 hours a day and by nature is regularly starting and stopping (it has to stop to change jobs, which can be from 3X to 20X or more per day).
Besides, it wouldn't make a difference when we put the peak load on: even if it was 3:00 in the morning, that spike would still be the rate our entire day would be based on.
