After my Mac Pro (late 2013) gets updated to Monterey it happened many time that my mac just restarted itself because of a problem. It happens always in sleep mode, but never during working.
Mac Pro, macOS 12.2

Reinstall the macOS:
The volume is apparently corrupt. So, reinstall the macOS. Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Prior to the reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to back up your Mac with Time Machine, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything happen after the reinstall.

Get this Serviced:
👍 Excellent job troubleshooting with the reinstall! If restarting the Mac this is the only route to take on you own, then I suggest you contact Apple Support, seeing if you can get this serviced.
Contact Apple Support:
If purchased from Apple, or covered under AppleCare, then get this serviced by Apple.
B. Contact an AASP:
Also, take this to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service provider), asking for assistance.

Where to go from here...
Reinstall the macOS Anew:
Being a continuum of restarts, I'd say just reinstall the macOS anew, as if you were to sell it. See my User Tip: How to Reinstall the macOS Anew - No TMB Prior to Upgrade - User Tip. Format the hard drive with the applicable macOS on step D.

Pretty much, it is a matter of:
Many thanks for your suggestion. After reinstalling the current OsX (Monterey 12.2.1) looks ok so far.
During last 6 hours after reinstalling there was no restarts by itself. I will monitor the situation in next few days and if Mac will not restart by itself, the solution is definitely the right one.

Apple's support does not responding to this problem.
With my PowerBook Pro, the problem is even bigger because the sleep feature is more important than with the MacPro.
However, the PowerBook Pro doesn’t restart by itself all the time, but it’s so slow you can’t work with it. To use it, restarting is the only option, even if you don’t know if it will help or not. Sometimes after rebooting it works nice and smooth sometimes not.
Threfore I decided to install the original version (Sierra), but even that I can't do that because every time I run the installation I get a message that the file has an error. I really don’t know what to do throw it away or what?
Additional Report about restart:
After reinstalling current OsX Monterey (12.2.1) Mac restarts by itself again. After restarting the same error:
I received MCA restarts after installing Monterey (maybe a few before that). Te continued with 12.1 and 12.2. I have not had one since I updated to 12.2.1 on Feb 10.
If you are not on 12.2.2 update.
After new restart (by itself) I am not able to start the App from dock anymore. I restarted Mac and dock is working again.
Many thank for your help.
You are welcome.
