Two ideas come to mind:

1) Set a prime time for the list that expires at 2AM.  Note that this trick
has hourly granularity.

2) Use cron/at on a Unix/Linux box, or similar software on Windows, to submit
the job at 2AM.  This is often a better bet if you want to actually do the
submit at 2:13AM to avoid the spike that often happens when all the *other*
cron jobs fire at 2:00AM on the dot.. ;)
