As you well know, in the macOS System Preferences we have many customization alternatives. One of them is the one called "Economizer". Within it we can choose when we want our computer or screen to go to sleep both when they are connected to the current and when they are running on batteries — logically the latter only in laptops.

Well, if you have looked closely, at the bottom of the screen you have another button that will allow you to do what we have told you. The button that is named "Program…" you must click it. Once inside the new menu we can program both when you want it to turn on by itself and at what time of day you want it to go to sleep. And all this without having to be in front of the screen at any time.
