It depends on the business. If you're selling trailer hitches to people in the US and Canada, you can get away with having "downtime" in the middle of the night because -- as much as everyone says, "you'd be surprised at how many people buy trailer hitches at 3 AM" -- the core of your business is most definitely done between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
This raises the question then -- what specifically is downtime. Planned? Unplanned? Etc. etc.
