Do techstop times matter?

I understand that it's not good to schedule flights departing or arriving between 2330 and 0500. But what about techstops? If you have a route with a techstop, does it matter what the local time is during the techstop?

Timing of the tech stop doesn't matter as long as the airport you're tech stopping at is open.

OK so there is no load factor hit for doing a 3am techstop at a 24-hour airport (compared to a 9am techstop at the same airport)?
