What you want to do is make a 1 time alarm:
#trigger {^You go to sleep.} {#alarm +40 {wake;wear scarf}}
Thats designed to be entered from the command line, and assumes that the You go to sleep is at the start of a line. I also assume that the command to wake up is wake.

I think your problem is a simple one. There are 3 sets of delimiting characters used to seperate potions of a script: () {} []. I believe you used ()when you needed to use {}.

If you are entering the trigger from the settings editor:
Pattern: ^You go to sleep.
value:
#alarm +40 {wake;wear scarf}
Please note: Those are curly braces {}, not parentheses ().

When someone writes a script using #TRIGGER it is to be entered into the command line. Cut & Paste from the forums work great for this, plus we don't have to explain every time the steps involved in creating a setting using the Settings Editor. That is why most scripts you see people post are this way.
However, if you prefer to make your scripts using the Settings Editor, try looking at the syntax of the various commands used to create settings (#ALIAS, #TRIGGER, etc.) in the help file, so you know what part goes into which box in the Settings Editor. Basically, with triggers it is very easy, because it has the form:
#TRIGGER {pattern} {commands}
So you take pattern (without the braces) and put it in the Pattern box, and then you take commands (again, without the braces) and put it in the Value box.
