That's how I have it working here in the UK as well and I think most people do.

A couple of hours after 6pm and a couple of hours just before you wake up. All controlled from a simple timer.

Yes, Nest would be a fancier solution, but I don't really see much benefit a part from the 'coolness' factor.
