It's pretty presumptuous to assume calling in the middle of the night is a problem as opposed to calling when people are asleep. Which could be any hour of the day.

There's a super obvious method to avoid all the issues. Don't robocall people at all. This person placed about 20k phone calls between 10pm and 6am. Whether someone answered or not, a ringing phone waking a person a significant intrusion. They also called people and recorded them without their consent.
Here's an easy rule of thumb: in the absence of explicit informed consent don't experiment with other people's stuff. It's amazing that there are adults who don't understand this.
Also, a brief search on the internet suggests Finland is a two party consent state for recording phone calls.
