Missing Power Nap Options in System Preferences - Laptop continues to reboot when in sleep mode

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro. Recently had to restore Mac OS (Catalina 10.15.5) in an attempt to fix the laptop rebooting after going into to sleep mode. The OS restore did not work.

I've seen posts where I should disable Power Nap. My version of Catalina OS does not provide an option to disable (see photo).

Seeking advice on why the Power Nap option is not available AND any advice on how to stop the laptop from rebooting.

Thank you.
