Is it Possible to Have A Timer Running In Your Game Even When The Device is In Sleep Mode?

I have an app that is a utility that keeps track of time. There is a main timer that the user sets, an alarm then sounds when the time is up. Is it possible to have the timer work even if the user locks their iphone or goes out of the app? It doesn't seem to work now for some reason but is there anything that I can do to make this work?

    @MegapixelIdeas ... pretty sure that's a 'no' for the alarm part. You can access the device clock and save and compare those values but you app will have to be open for the alarm to trigger.
