what hour to apply for best results

So as we all know there are special months and seasons in which it is "ideal" to apply during. But what about on the more microscopic scale?

Is there a Best "hour" of the day you should be applying for positions?

Does it vary based on the type of application?

-Recruiter

-Online applications

-Human Resources

-Direct email with hiring manager

Does the time of day matter? What yields best results from your experience. Are emails sent at "awkward" times simply ignored?

Hopefully some HR, hiring managers and people who deal with the application process can chime in! Thanks very much in advance.

To sum it all up:

"what hours of the day should one set aside to apply for positions via computer?"

I guess this can be then followed up by:

"What hours of the day should be set aside for phone followups?"
