How can I make a script to shut down computer while I sleep? I mean, it should shut down the computer when I run the script and start the computer at 6.45 am.

Shutdown is pretty easy:
echo 'sudo /sbin/shutdown now' | at 11pm
Wake-up is much harder - Wake On Lan is the topic to google.

Very good. One simplification is thatshutdowntakes a time argument. To shutdown at 11pm, it is sufficient to run:sudo /sbin/shutdown 23:00(23:00 is military time for 11pm). The use ofatis unnecessary.

Quite right @John1024. Edited the answer to use 'now' but you can indeed use shutdown with a date and then cancel it later withsudo shutdown -cif necessary.

Many firmware setups have an option to set a power on time. Using this is easier than Wake On LAN, which would need another device that is always on.
