Description

This is my killer feature from amphetamine, a similar app that's unfortunately only distributed via the mac app store.

Basically, I can say "keep my computer awake until 5pm, then let it sleep normally". Would love to see this in KeepingYouAwake

Research direction

The issue describes a macOS feature but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing sleep-prevention controls and determine how an end time could be represented; done means the computer stays awake until the requested time and then resumes normal sleep behavior.
