@Donnarice -- can you connect the pod's power-cord to one of those electronic timers that are used to control one's outdoor Xmas lights, e.g., "on from 5 PM to 11 PM, and otherwise off", and set it to "off between 8 PM and 8 AM"? Of course, depending on the age of the G-child, the G-child may be tempted to try to tamper with it, but that is a "parental authority" issue, not a "technical issue".
