I have my AW 7 screen set for always on but I would like it to turn off automatically at nighttime. Can anyone please advise how to set it to do this
 
Create a "personal automation" on your iPhone that turns on Theater Mode when Bedtime starts. Create a second automation that turns Theater Mode off when you wake up. Make sure "Ask Before Running" and "Notify When Run" are unchecked. It works about 99% of the time, for me (sometimes the morning automation doesn't work correctly, for some reason. If you wanted to make it absolutely bulletproof, you could change it to simply turn off Theater Mode at a specific time, each day - that would probably be more reliable).

Yep, this. I have it turn on automatically at 11 pm, and turn it off at "sunrise" using the above procedure. Works like a charm!
