This can be a problem in first block if you wait to get to class to turn on your computer (or your 8 am meeting!) This is an energy saver feature that was introduced with Yosemite.

Here is a preference you can set so your computer will wake up and be ready to go when you are!

  1. Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences then click Energy Saver
