[Feature Request] NoSleep disable timer

[sifex]

Hey, just thinking that a NoSleep auto disable timer might be in order, given that serious damage could be done if you place a MacBook with Discrete Graphics in a bag whilst NoSleep is enabled.

Thinking estimates for 30min, 1h, 2h, 5h, 8h, 10h, 20h, 1 day and 2 days or disabled.

I +1 'd this but commenting here to give a use case:

9 out of the last 10 times I used NoSleep, it was when I wanted to walk to another room in the same building with the lid closed but didn't want to wait for the machine to wake up and reconnect everything. It would be nice to have the system wait a while before sleeping after I closed the lid.

Here's another feature request use case: I often enable NoSleep when I'm watching a movie. However, I often forget to disable it once I end my watching session, therefore leaving my Mac awake.

It would be nice to activate NoSleep but "automatically disable it after X minutes or Y hours" (some defaults should be provided, plus the user could enter whatever she finds suit".

Adding my $0.02: i've been really wanting this feature, too. Similar to szhu, most of the time i use NoSleep just to walk to another room at work with the lid closed and not drop my network connections. But then i forget to turn it off, and sometimes put the computer in my bag and go home with it still on. Having it auto-disable itself after a configurable amount of time would be awesome.

Hi @integralpro ! I may try to implement this if you don't have it on your radar. Could you please give me some hints to where in the code this should be implemented? Thanks!

I also have the same use-case as @szhu and @mjm666: I need computer to remain awake while walking to/from meetings in building. Could really use a timer but 5, 10, and 15 minutes would cover my needs.
