Windows 10: Is it possible to have sleep settings apply only after a certain time?

So i've had a few stabs at getting my pc to sleep automatically in a fashion that suits me. During the day I want it on perpetually. I want it to sleep only after ive hit the sack. I accomplished this with a scheduled task. Then my wife threw a wrench in the whole thing. She stays up quite a bit later than I do. Every so often she wants to watch plex. I had hoped plex streaming would signify that the pc is not idle and wouldnt shut it down. Seems thats not the case. Idle as defined by the scheduled task system is either no keyboard inputs or cpu usage >50% or some such. Plex streaming checked neither box and it cut her off mid movie. Normally i'd just use the conventional windows sleep system as plex certainly flags a powercfg request and will keep it awake. Unfortunately if i set a 2 hour window, that would certainly trip, sometimes multiple times a day as on busy days im often away for a stretch. I dont want it to cut-off instances where I may be seeding, or need to access something remotely etc. So im here to inquire if anyone knows of a way I can have my cake and eat it too in this scenario

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
