Note:

If you define your working hours, you can also specify which energy-saving options you want to apply outside of working hours. As long as you do not define working hours, the energy-saving options apply non-stop (24/7).

Setup powerman

Next to Power management profiles, click Edit and then select the tab for the required profile. To define profiles for non-working hours, first define the working hours.
