Putting iMac to sleep

How I can put iMac to sleep automatically after some time. I don't have this option in energy saver (only the display option appears).

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

You can put the display to sleep using the slider. If you want you can manually put it to sleep before leaving it by either selecting the Sleep option in the Apple menu or pressing the COMMAND-OPTION-EJECT keys.


If you also check the Energy Saver option to put the drives to sleep when possible, then they will automatically go to sleep after a short time interval or no activity.
