So confused about how to put iMac to sleep after updating to Ventura

I recently updated from Big Sur to Ventura. Before, when I would go to Energy Saver settings, there would be an option called "Put hard disks to sleep when possible," and it would simply put my Mac to sleep after the designated time. But that option is no longer there after updating to Ventura.

Hard Disks Sleep When Possible in Ventura M1 Mac mini I am trying to figure out why I do not have the option on my M1 Mac mini running Ventura to disable the option where my hard disks go to sleep when possible. I have an older iMac and looked at the settings and have that option on there. My other Mac has the option to enable Power Nap and put the hard disks to sleep when possible. Can anyone assist me on getting these options on my M1 Mac Mini?

Ventura putting my imac to sleep I just did a wipe and fresh install on my iMac. I can't seem to find a way to keep my iMac from going to sleep. It happens in less than an hour, black screen and i have to put my password in again each time. I've checked the forums and did all the suggestions i could find. I may just be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sleep/Waking Up on Mac OS Ventura I am having a strange problem on my new iMac running Ventura 13.2.1 having to do with the SLEEP command. I'm sure it is a toggle command I have not been able to find. When I put the iMac to SLEEP, it goes to sleep correctly BUT within 15-20 minutes, it goes back up again. The idea is when I want it to SLEEP, it should sleep the entire night and in the morning I hit the space bar, and the Mac wakes up. That is not happening. I've had to shut it down so I can [myself] sleep thru the night without being awakened. Can someone help me? Thanks

Apple has removed that Option from System Setting in Ventura but all is not lost.

The below link will offer a Terminal command line to be executed by the user.
