The most straightforward way is a scheduled task at 8 pm to do the hibernate, and set the BIOS to perform the wakeup at 8 am.
If you don't have a wakeup setting in your bios then you may instead be able to enable wakeonlan and send the magic packet to wake it up from another machine.
To hibernate as a scheduled task you can download pstools from the microsoft site and use psshutdown -h http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx
