Wake Assist solves a wake-from-sleep problem on some Macs.

Wake Assist automatically clicks the mouse a few seconds after waking from sleep. The mouse click is enough to nudge a stuck Mac to wake up fully.
The mouse click will only happen if the Mac is not being used — we made sure Wake Assist stays out of your way.

Wake Assist is a small Mac OS X daemon; it sits quietly in the background until your Mac wakes from sleep.
1. A few seconds after your Mac wakes up Wake Assist checks for user activity.
2. If no activity has taken place since waking up, Wake Assist performs a couple of mouse clicks.
3. Finally Wake Assist returns to waiting silently for the next wake from sleep.

All modern hard drives have built-in software that put the drive to sleep for energy saving and wear & tear purposes. Most drives can take anywhere from 15-30 seconds to wake from a sleeping state.

If you have multiple drives, this problem is compounded. HDrive Awake will make sure that your hard drives do not go to sleep unless you want them to.

HDrive Awake app is very easy to use and only take a few seconds to set up. Once it is running, all your internal and external hard drives will be available to you with no sleep/wake cycles to slow you down!

If youve got a PowerBook you use with multiple displays as well as on the road, Mac OS X does a good job of remembering the relationships between the displays, but most applications wont automatically reconfigure themselves appropriately in different contexts.
DisplayWatcher can be configured to launch a file (most likely an AppleScript) whenever your monitor configuration switches to a recognized arrangement. This script can adjust whatever application settings you want to adapt to the new display arrangement. I use it to show or hide the dock, and switch to an appropriate DragThing workspace. It can also run a script (or open an arbitrary file) whenever you wake up from sleep, which I use to re-establish my SSH tunnels.
Enhancements:
- This is a Universal Binary which will run natively on the new Intel Macs as well as on PowerPC machines.
- If you are using Mac OS X 10.3, stick with DisplayWatcher version 1.0.2; the only difference in 1.1 is native compatibility with Intel processors.

Alarm Clock is a tool that runs unobtrusively in the status bar so it wont get in the way and it wont take up space in the dock. Use it to set as many alarms as needed, either one-time alarms or repeating alarms.

Then choose anything in the iTunes library to wake to: songs, playlists, even radio stations. The application takes care of the rest, even waking the computer from sleep if needed.

When its this simple, why even bother with older alarm clocks? With this little application you can wake up to the sounds you want. You can configure your snooze duration to the length you want. You can even increase/decrease your snooze time right from the alarm window!

And, if waking up to blaring alarms in the morning isnt your cup of tea, theres an "easy wake" option which will gradually increase the system volume over time. And even this is configurable for you!

And to top things off, the application is completely free! No 30-day trial software, no nag screens, just plain free. You have enough to worry about already. Enjoy.

LaunchOnTime is an application utility for opening documents at specified times.
Drag and drop files into the file list window. Then double click on the time in the Launch Time column to specify the date and time making sure you use the same format as the sample time.
LaunchOnTime wakes up a sleeping computer prior to a launch time if you run it as root user. To do so use Chalaut.
Enhancements:
- Sleep/Wake enabled: If the computer goes to sleep LaunchOnTime will wake up the computer prior to launching an item, and sleeping no longer sets back the launch time
