Looks like I got it to work! I installed gdm (GNOME Display Manager), so I have a nice login screen instead of the Arch tty. I added `exec-once = hypridle` to my `hyprland.conf`. Altogether, my `hypridle.conf` looks like this now:

```auto
#hypridle.conf
general {
    lock_cmd = pidof hyprlock || hyprlock # avoid starting multiple hyprlock instances.
    before_sleep_cmd = hyprlock # lock before suspend.
	after_sleep_cmd = systemctl --user restart hyprsunset # make sure hyprsunset reloads after opening laptop
  # to avoid having to press a key twice to turn on the display.
}

```

After a couple more tests, everything works as I want it to! After opening my laptop, the new hyprsunset profile might take about 30 seconds to kick in, but it appears to work.

Thanks for the help!
