"Sleep" Function in System Preferences???

Specify sleep and wake settings for a Mac desktop computer

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Energy Saver  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Do any of the following: 
    • Put hard disks to sleep: Turn on “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” on the right.
  • Update your system while it’s asleep: Turn on Enable Power Nap on the right.
    • See What is Power Nap?
    • Allow your Mac to wake briefly so users can access shared services (if applicable): Turn on “Wake for network access” on the right.
