iMac El Capitan.

Energy Saver set to:

I use Amphetamine trigger to keep Mac awake during day.

I can not tell if my Mac is sleeping at night. How do I do this?

The Console shows activity when the Mac is supposed to be sleeping. Console does not show iMac waking up time according to Energy Preference Schedule at 7:45am.

If I have a password, will the Mac Sleep after the Trigger expires and Wakeup at Preference Schedule.

Thanks

From your picture, you have a check mark in the box labeled, "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off." With that checked I think it won't sleep at all. Also, you have "Wake for network access" checked, which will wake up the system every time there is a network action for which it needs to react. So, it is unlikely your system is sleeping at all.

You also have “Put Hard Disks to sleep when possible”, that’s not needed.
