Energy Saver
Wanted to come home from work and have your Mac ready to use, yet don’t want to leave your computer running or in sleep? Well this feature, built right into Mac OS X without the need of an additional program, can allow you to do just that. This feature is called Energy Saver Scheduler.

Find out how after the jump.

In System Preferences, press the Energy Saver icon. The following screen should appear:

Energy Saver: Scheduler

Click the Schedule button. Here you are provided with a list of options as to what to do with your Mac.

Energy Saver: Scheduler Options

As you can see above, I am choosing to wake up my Mac on Friday at 7am, and shutting it down at 9pm the same night. There are multiple options, such as choosing to use "weekdays" rather than a specific day. I use this feature often and it works perfectly.
