Macbook pro turning off every time I close the lid

Since updating my Macbook pro to Catalina, it turns itself off when I close the lid, and then takes a very long time to wake up again whenever I open it. How do I change the settings to just sleep and not fully turn off everytime I close the lid? (It used to be fine and didn't do this until the recent update) thank you!
