How to adjust auto-sleep settings on Mac Studio M1 Ultra?

I'm running a Mac Studio M1 Ultra. Occasionally, I would like to run a a long program or simulation overnight. Is there a way to suspend the auto-sleep settings? And for that matter, I once set the sleep times in previous OS but have not been able to find that in the Settings of subsequent versions, (I always keep my OS up to date.) Thanks.

Mac Studio, macOS 26.3

Thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately, my Studio Display has no off switch. However, I did find in the settings that you can choose programs that you allow to continue running in sleep mode.
