I am looking for a way to restrict when my PC goes into sleep mode. I only
want it to sleep between the hours of 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM. I need the PC to
up fully up and running outside of those hours and I cannot get wake on lan
to work. I'm looking for a way short of changing settings everyday. I can
probably work with any utility that will allow me to restrict a program from
running during certain hours, but I'd rather use the MS solution.
 
I'm sure there is another way, but I picked a scheduled task to wake my
computer.
I set the trigger to the time I want it to wake and I choose the action to
display a message on my screen (even though I am not there). Under the
conditions I choose "Wake the computer to run this task".

It's a work-around, but until I can find a better way, it works.
