If you don't mind some scripting you can check my answer to a similar question here.
UPDATE: Actually, searching Ubuntu repositories for "wake" found the following application:
wakeup
This package has a complete graphical front end with which a user can set an alarm to wake the computer - from poweroff if possible - and read a user-defined text. This text can grab relevant information (date, time, weather, Evolution schedule and tasks, news from an rss feed, number of new email messages, etc.) and speak that as well, or play music, all as defined by the user. More capabilities can be added to the alarm via a complete and simple plugin system. Supports multiple alarms.
Looks like exactly what you want
You can install it using
sudo apt-get install wakeup
or just via Software Center

That does not seem to work with recent Ubuntu versions anymore. [apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/wakeup/] Dec 17, 2017 at 5:02
Try this link Alarm clock pseudoberries They have a good one on this site.
To get started, press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below to install:
Enter code here:
sudo apt-get install alarm-clock-applet
Enjoy!

3But this program is not able to wake up a hybernated/sleeping computer as far as I'm aware...– SergeyApr 10, 2012 at 3:06

Yeah i think Sergey has a good point that you would have to input some code maybe into an API/Kernel to get that to work as i was reading your intro at the top, it looks like your new to linux. So you may have to do some reading, if your not new to it all then you should find what your looking for. :) Apr 10, 2012 at 3:17
