Description of the new feature / enhancement

There needs to be a schedule for the keep awake feature allowing users to set a specific time range, similar to the Night Light feature. So that the computer would only be awake during that time period and after that, the computer can sleep or whatever.

Scenario when this would be used?

When work hours are done, the computer can now freely sleep.

Supporting information

Sleep after a scheduled keep awake.

Thank you for the suggestion, @rigorimpossible! Closing this issue as a wont-fix mainly because this would overlap heavily with capabilities built into Windows Task Scheduler to run processes at a certain time (see #23340 and #22634). I think the idea has merits but also a lot of caveats that would need to be considered. This could be something that we look into in the future but not on the immediate horizon (there are some architectural changes that need to roll out first).
