Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Next to the halfmoon button that enables sleep mode another button that does basically the same.
But the half moon button would always have the fade out while the new button always wouldn't.

Why would this be helpful?

Right now I on the daily have to switch the fade-out option on and off in the menu.

When I use it as a sleep button as originally intended (to fall asleep while listening) I like that it fades out.
When I use the sleep mode to stop after the current chapter without having to pause manually
- I do this for breaks from writing. I'll allow myself 10 minutes or one chapter to listen to. But I don't want it to fade out at the end cause often enough that results in me having to go back to properly understand the last sentence.
- If I have to stop manually I might now have my hands free or the app open at the exact moment. And starting to hear the first sentence of a new chapter often erodes my self discipline and makes me listen on.
