You have complete freedom on things that you tag as "personal".
A "business" is always looking to grow upwards and onwards.

One could argue on a business though. A UPS truck is only going to deliver when you're awake.
Sure, yes the back-office of passing the item through processing centres require 24/7 operation's for the delivery to reach from left side of the country to the right but if we were not conditioned to accept 24/7 as a thing, do you really need X in next day delivery when if XYZ CompShop was open and sold the same item for a reasonable/same price at a reasonable time for you?
24/7 provides convenience but convenience isn't always the greatest nor always the best. It's these businesses that make the price high for the local causing them to suffer per-se because we expect it all now.
There are quite a few businesses that don't feel the need to grow but instead focus on providing a consistent service and good employee benefits.
Keeping a website generally available 24/7 is usually pretty trivial of a cost compared to the costs for everything else in running a business so to me putting effort into limiting business hours seems unproductive. If you receive significant malicious traffic or attacks during off hours it may make sense but otherwise the cost of keeping the lights on for a server are usually marginal at most.
