big sur sleep

Mac Big Sur

There is no longer the Energy Saver function for adjusting when the laptop goes to sleep during inactivity or to disable it altogether. Energy Saver has been replaced by Battery, but there doesn’t appear to be a function in there for changing the ‘go to sleep’ time. My laptop goes to sleep after 10 minutes and I really want to change that; sometimes I also need to disable it because it affects functionality on other apps. Looking for advice on how to make these changes. TIA!
