Setting Downtime on the weekend for times after Midnight

I may be missing something obvious, but I'm trying to figure out how to set downtime for my teenage daughter that matches our house rules — no devices starting at 11:30pm on weeknights and 12:30am on weekends, like this:

Sunday - Thursday: 11:30pm - 6am
"Friday Night" starting Saturday morning at 12:30am - 6am Saturday
"Saturday Night" starting Sunday morning at 12:30am - 6am Sunday

Conceptually simple, but it seems that Downtime won't let me set times past midnight since it would require 2 entries for Sunday. I'm left with having to change the rules to be more restrictive on my daughter or not restricting Sunday nights at all. Am I missing a way to achieve this? I can't be the only one with this problem, can I?

I don't use that feature, and certainly not under Family Sharing, so I can't advise you. On the other hand nobody else has replied so far...

See if Apple says anything that might help

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If not:

Contact Apple. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

or:

Contact Apple for support and service --> "See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world."

Thank you for the response, Limnos. I was hard pressed to find the right spot to post this question — Apple doesn't seem to have a category for settings and services. I may have to contact them.
