But on our new Studio Mac preferences looks like this:

And on a M1 Silicon MBP like this:

How does one set Sleep parameters?

Specify sleep and wake settings for a Mac desktop computer

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Energy Saver in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Do any of the following:

- Put hard disks to sleep: Turn on “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” on the right.
Update your system while it’s asleep: Turn on Enable Power Nap on the right.
- See What is Power Nap?
- Allow your Mac to wake briefly so users can access shared services (if applicable): Turn on “Wake for network access” on the right.
