Can I put my MacBook to sleep before an automatic update?
My MacBook Pro recently detected a software update and will automatically update overnight. I am unsure whether it is safe for me to put the system to sleep before the update.

Hello yannis275,
We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: What is Power Nap on Mac? - Apple Support. Enabling Power Nap will allow your macOS to update without the Mac being fully "awake."
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
