How to manage global team WhatsApp burnout across time zones

My team spans four continents and our WhatsApp work chat never stops and everyone's trying to be helpful by responding at all hours but it's creating this culture where people feel guilty for sleeping or being offline. As the team lead I keep saying we need to respect time zones but then I'm the first one to respond to messages at 2am.
