I think you might like this scheduler:

http://wiki.monotone.ca/BuildBot/buildbot-doc/buildbot.html#Nightly-Scheduler

something like this perhaps?

s = scheduler.Nightly(name='BeforeWakingUp',
              builderNames=['stephen-builder'],
              hour=[1,4],
              minute=23,
              onlyIfChanged=True)
