Nice idea, but the light rail runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Here are the frequencies from their web site:

Between midnight and 6:00a.m - Every 15 minutes
Between 6:00a.m. and 9:00a.m - Every 12 minutes 
Between 9:00a.m. and 9:00p.m - Every 8 - 10 minutes 
Between 9:00p.m. and midnight - Every 12 minutes
