    You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends. Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.

    I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.
