macbook shuts down in sleep

Hello, I have a little issue with my MacBook Air. After update to macOS Big Sur it started to shut down while in a sleep mode for a long time (during the night). I have to press the power button when I want tu use it after this period. So is this some kind of hibernation? Because it doesn't show any error message after boot up. And if yes, is there an option how to stop this feature?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
