Schedule Your Mac to Shut Down, Sleep, Restart or Even Wake Itself Automatically [Tutorial]
Schedule specific times for your Mac to start up, shut down, go to sleep or wake from sleep. You can do this if you want to be sure your Mac turns off when you aren’t working and turns on before you come to work.
Your Mac can be made to power on and shut down on a custom schedule.
Having your computer start up 15 minutes or so before you get up from bed in the morning is a great way to have your emails, photos, messages, calendars and other personal information items updated and refreshed before you even touch the keyboard.
This helps reduce the time necessary to wait to use the machine. You may use this feature to get your computer to start up before you get to the office or arrive home.
If you're tired of your Mac not being ready when you are in the morning, or if you want to save electricity, you can set your Mac to start up and shut down on demand.
Every Mac user know to use the options under the Apple menu at the upper top corner of the screen to manually shut down the computer, to put it to sleep, or restart it. Yet have you thought of scheduling your Mac’s startup, sleep or shutdown? For instance, you can configure it to start up one minute before you start to use the Mac, or you can set it up to shut itself down at a regular time each day. So how can we achieve that? Here is a little trick: you can use the Schedule feature in Energy Saver preferences and set a time for your Mac to automatically start up, wake, sleep, restart, or shut down.
