MacOs won't let my laptop sleep

MacOs 13.0 (MacBookPro 15,0).

I'd love to be able to hibernate my laptop, like Windows does, but somehow Apple removed this option long time ago and even if the command line command still exists, it doesn't work.


Now, even sleep seems not working: my laptop seems unable to enter sleep, like never.


Is there a way to make it sleep properly (and hopefully without Bluetooth waking)?
