I can tell you normal at my company is to schedule a maintenance window and then patch and reboot all at the same time. that is IF the patches require a reboot. Or if you wish to reboot to test the patch if it is related to a startup function.
If the patch is truly non-invasive, I would pick an off-hours time after the production day is done or has slowed down to a crawl. So as to have the least impact if anything goes awry.
I would never recommend patching during the production day. Unless you know for a fact that the patch is non-intrusive which includes any software that the users might be accessing in their normal course of work. Even though the box may not require rebooting some patches can affect services on the box and inturn affect the users.

NAME
timetrans - Converts time into time
SYNOPSIS
timetrans [units-options] [-count]
DESCRIPTION
timetrans converts time from one type of unit to another. If any of the units options are specified, then timetrans will convert those
time units into the number of seconds to which they add up. If given the count option, timetrans will convert that number of seconds into
the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The converted result is printed out. Units options cannot be
specified in the same execution as the count option, and vice versa.
timetrans is intended for use with DNSSEC-Tools, for calculating a zone's expiration time.
OPTIONS
Units Options
The converted value of each unit is totaled and a single result printed.
-seconds seconds
Count of seconds to convert to seconds.
-minutes minutes
Count of minutes to convert to seconds.
-hours hours
Count of hours to convert to seconds.
-days days
Count of days to convert to seconds.
-weeks weeks
Count of weeks to convert to seconds.
Count Option
The specified seconds count is converted to the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
-count seconds
Count of seconds to convert to the appropriate set of units.
Other Options

-Version

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting 5 days into seconds
$(42)> timetrans -days 5

8888888
Example 6: Converting 720000 seconds into time units
