   I just set it for tomorrow.  It comes with lots of wakeup sounds, from   
   pretty to obnoxious, but they only last a short time.  One that I use   
   last 6 seconds, but you oculd find your own sound that lasts a minute.   
      
   I have Repeat Sound turned on, and it goes for a lonnggg time, maybe   
   forever, but you can turn that off and I presume it plays one iteration   
   of the file.   
      
   You can put the PC to sleep and it will still wake it up.  It also has   
   adjustable volume and can be so loud I can hear it in the next room.  It   
   also has snooze and will turno the monitor, both optiona.
