A shell script using rtcwake should do the trick. Check out the Man pages.

rtcwake looks good, but how do I get it to reset after each wake?

Reset? You mean to run again the next day? There are plenty of ways, the fasted and easiest is a continuously running shell script something like:
rtcwake -s 21600
sleep 64800Then run it at midnight tonight (or write another script to do that for you if you want it to be more exact) with
nohup mysleepscript.sh &Like I said there are many ways to do this, but that's just the easiest IMO.

... Or start it with a cron job at midnight
