Energy Saver missing some options

Make the settings like this , display sleep slider settings should be less than computer sleep , also uncheck the box of wake for wi fi network access .

Good practice is close all the applications , turn wi fi off and press control + option + command + power key simultaneously and let the screen goes black and wait for a while close the lid after completion of your work on the computer .

Am I the only one who sees the obvious problem with this? Or am I missing an obvious solution?

On a laptop in battery mode, how do I make it sleep after N minutes idle? I used to be able to do this with the second slider, which is now disappeared.

I am having a recurring problem with my (wimpy) MagSafe II connector getting disconnected overnight (blame the cat or whatever), and the MBP battery is exhausted and the unit shut down by the time I wake up in the morning, all because the unit is not going to sleep when on battery.

Close the MBP at night? It will be asleep. And, it will be safe from a cat tramping on the keys.

I leave it up all the time and connected to power, because when I'm away I often have to fetch data off it remotely. But if it accidentally gets unplugged, I'd rather have it go to sleep than shut down due to a dead battery (plus it will "wake on internet" anyway if I do happen to need it).

If you read closely the text for the first checkbox says something like "Prevent the computer from sleeping when the display sleeps".

Granted this is less convenient and less clear than the second slider. However the implication seems to be that by leaving this box UNchecked the computer will sleep when the screen does.

I don't know why this is different but from examples posted it may be related to portables with two gpu.

Mmmmmm... no. Curiously (and this truly is curious), that option appears only on the power adapter tab. There is no such checkbox on the battery tab.

Now, maybe the implication here is that it is now impossible to prevent the machine from sleeping when the display sleeps if it is running on battery. Unfortunately, my real world experience disproves this. In the battery tab, my display is set to sleep in 10 minutes, but when my MagSafe comes loose, my battery drains overnight.

Thank you for trying, but your recommendations are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the problem. I don't need to set sleep and wake times; power nap is already off, where it belongs; and I already have a battery monitor active but it does me no good when the battery exhausts itself overnight while I am sleeping (and the cat doesn't pay attention to it).

The obvious answer here is to train the cat to pay attention.

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Completely irrelevant.)

I can confirm that on my 2016 MBP, I'm seeing the same preferences as you do.

They are similar to the images already posted by others who also see no "Computer sleep" bar.
