I'm looking for an alarm clock that also has a sleep timer built in that will automatically put my Mac to sleep after so many minutes or a set time.

I've been going to sleep listening to some Youtube clips at night. I was using a widget to turn my Macbook off after a set amount of minutes, but after reinstalling SL, I'm looking for both an alarm clock and a timer.

If possible, I'd like to find one in the App Store. I kind of like how it keeps everything together. Also, free or inexpensive is best.

You can set alarms with iCal. As for sleeping, go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and set your preferences.

Thanks, but I'd rather have a bit more functions with the alarm clock, such as snooze and playing music.

Although I could do without the alarm clock feature. I use my phone as my main one since the speakers are pretty poor in my MacBook.
