How to prevent Computer from turning on in the middle of the night?

Every so often, around 10 or 11 pm, the screen on my Mac lights up while I am trying to sleep. Is there any way to prevent your Mac from turning on in the middle of the night? I assume this is probably normal. Any ideas as to what might cause this?

Have you checked System Preferences/Energy Saver/Schedule to see if a wake time is set? Make sure Wake for network access isn't checked.
