IMHO, the "correct" way is to use escalations with escalation_period
and escalation_options to specify different behavior during the night.
You can have two escalation chains, one that is in effect for
weeknights and weekends and one that is in effect during normal
business hours.

You can also specify that a certain contact should only be notified
for certain states, but then you'd have to have two contact
definitions. This would be a good idea if you have a dedicated "on
call" email and/or phone number.
