Way to make alarm clock work with lid closed?

[aditghai]

I just got my Macbook Pro. I use my computer as a Alarm clock and wanted to know if I close the lid, is there a way the alarm can sound?

Thanks

Don't close your lid.

Just sleep your display by pressing

Control + Shift + Eject.

Is there a difference which way I put it to sleep? I mean is closing the lid better (saves more energy?)?

Putting the display to sleep doesn't put the hardware to sleep. So, to answer your question, yes.
