SUMMARY

I wish it was possible to enable Night Light automatically at sunset. While at the same time automatically disabling at a custom time.

Right now I use "Sunset and sunrise at manual location". In the evening it works exactly as I want it to. When I wake up and it is still dark outside my computer still uses Night Light though. This is of course expected behavior, but not what I want. In the morning I don't mind blue light. In fact it might actually help me to wake up quicker.

What I do right now is to suspend Night Light manually in the morning. Later (after sunrise and if it goes well before sunset) I enable it again. Ideally I would instead be able to set a custom time for when Night Color should be disabled. While still enabling it at sunset. Because then I'd simply set it to be disabled at the time at which I usually wake up at the earliest.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Night Color's switching times to sunset/sunrise.
2. Wake up before sunrise, for example because you live in Europe and winter is coming.
3. Admire reddish screen, since Night Color is working as expected.
4. Suspend Night Color manually.
5. Enable Night Color again manually (after sunrise, but before sunset), assuming you don't forget.

OBSERVED RESULT
As expected Night Color is still active in the morning (before sunrise).

EXPECTED RESULT
As expected Night Color is still active in the morning (before sunrise).
