I have a better idea than a switch-controlled outlet -- I wired timers to outlets that feed high-wattage appliances. It's better because you won't forget to turn off the outlet.

Here's a 60 minute timer at Home Depot, I've seen 8-hour timers (sorry for the hacked-up url, please remove spaces before pasting into your browser's address bar):
