Auto-hibernation after scheduled tasks?

[Japetto12]

Hello.. I have a laptop which I keep hibernated at night. I have a few scheduled tasks that wake the laptop up in order to run. My question is, is there a way to force the laptop back into hibernation after a scheduled task has woke it up and run? I know I can change my power settings and have it hibernate after so many minutes but I don't want to use that method. Is there a batch file I can create or something I can run to force it to hibernate when I want? Ant help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
