Changing iMac sleep schedule

I had set up a schedule for my Mac to wake up at 8:00am and sleep at 9:00pm. Since I've updated to Ventura, I can't find where to change this schedule in the System Settings. I thought it was under the Energy Saver or Display but I'm not able to find it. Am I missing it or is it buried in some menu somewhere?

iMac 27″, macOS 13.6

Thank you, Ka4hx. Dear apple, why would you do that? There are a good number of reasons why this function is useful. Very logical reasons.

Apple removed it in Ventura; you have to use terminal commands: https://osxdaily.com/2022/11/10/how-to-schedule-boot-turn-on-shutdown-wake-sleep-on-macos-ventura/


In part from the article:

For whatever reason, Apple removed the Energy Saver preference panel from macOS Ventura System Settings. Thus if you were hoping for the longstanding simple graphical interface to adjust and schedule your sleep, wake, shutdowns, and boots, there’s no such option in macOS Ventura. But, those actions are still possible to trigger using a different approach.


Instead, in macOS Ventura, you can perform scheduling of power functions by using the command line and pmset command.
