Computer sleep slider

Since upgrading to Big Sur, I don't see a slider in Energy Saver Preferences for computer sleep. Is there a way to get it back?

No, not for the computer sleep. Just for the screen.


There's just an option to not let the computer sleep when the screen is sleeping. The more important aspect of Energy Saver is the screen sleep.
