Can I Disable My Laptop For A Specific Time? [closed]

I've been utilizing a free program called DigiParent sometimes to set myself a time limit on my pc and internet use. (I'm addicted to it.) For example I set DigiParent to shut down my laptop in 2 hours. A minute before it shuts down a small panel appears saying it will shut down my laptop in 1 minute. So then I quickly finish what I'm doing, like finishing writing a post on a forum and posting it within that minute.
But after my laptop shuts down all I have to do to start it up again is press the On button.
So I was wondering if there is a way to program or use software that will keep my laptop disabled for 24 hours for example. So I can't start it up until 24 hours have past.
(I've sometimes spend a week -maximum time allowed- as a guest in a monastery without taking my laptop with me -they do have WiFi there- just to be away from the Internet.)
I'm using an HP EliteBook 850 G2, SSD, Windows 8.1 (with StartisBack so it looks like a modernized 7.)
