When's a good time to send reach out email to IB analysts (if at all)?

Hey everyone,

I am trying to prepare for FT recruiting for the next few months and I am trying to reach out to contacts via email to see if they would be available for a quick phone call to learn more about the firm and the culture since they won't be hosting info sessions/networking sessions at our school. With this I was wondering when would be a good time to email a 2nd-3rd year analyst? I understand that they filter emails like crazy since they are occupied and on the go all the time but I was just curious if there was an ideal time to contact them? I was planning to contact them tonight but I figured it wouldn't be a good idea simply because they would most likely read it at the peak of the week on Monday.

EDIT: Just a quick note, the alumni contact information was given on the full time job postings for various banks on our on campus recruiting system, I don't know how much this will affect their response rate since I never really met the person face to face through networking but I figured they released their contact information for that purpose, right?
