The Alder Simple panel screen may light up at night due to the Display Timeout setting. If the timeout period has not elapsed, the screen may remain active. Additionally, system notifications, alerts, or changes in system status could cause the screen to wake up. Adjusting the Display Timeout setting in the system settings can help control this behavior.
