[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 716978, member: 26315"] Well I do a similar thing on my imac. All you have to do is set up the alarm clock and then set the computer to never sleep and the display to sleep whenever you want it to. Then just leave your computer and it'll send the display to sleep. And not shut down. But the alarm will still work as will any other apps. Only the screen is asleep. Don't use sleep in the apple menu though. It's a different sleep. That one sends the hard drive and screen to sleep, not what we want. Well that works for me and I'm on an imac. I'm not so sure if being a notebook would affect anything though. I would think closing the lid would send the hard drive to sleep too so probably not what you're after. Just let it sleep the way above and it should work. [/QUOTE]
