I have recently fallen into the habit of falling asleep while listening to podcasts on Youtube. Even though I turn my laptop's screen to the dimmest, it still shines brightly in the dark bedroom. If I lock the screen, it will eventually go dark, but then the screen is locked. Sometimes in the playlist, a loud podcast will come on and I'll have to adjust the volume, and I'm too sleepy and bleary-eyed to enter my password correctly, find the volume control at the bottom, and adjust.
Is there a simple program that will just blank the screen without locking it? I don't want to disable the lock function as I use it in the daytime. I just want to move the mouse to get the screen on again so I can use the mouse wheel to adjust the volume.
