Reconditioning battery by leaving Mac on longer than recharging

I only use my MacBook Air for approximately an hour a day and now, when I turn it on the battery is almost dead. Can I recondition the battery by changing the sleep setting and leaving it on longer and then recharging it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

You can try it but it will accomplish nothing and you might be left with a Mac that won't boot.

Quitting apps and closing the lid puts it to sleep. That does not recondition your battery.

I'll try turning it off instead of just quitting the apps and closing it.
