The latest macOS versions are having various issues with automatic computer sleep mode.

Some systems crash and force a restart, others freeze up and are unresponsive.


As a test:

Turn on "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off" in the Energy Settings and only allow the display to turn off.

Leave the Mac ON during the day and only allow the display to turn OFF after 10 or 15 minutes.

Then shut down for longer periods of non-use like overnight and when away, if desired.
