Sleep option missing

Hi, absolute newbie to this site and may not have got the hang of it.

Just managed to upgrade to Win 11 on my old laptop and would like to know why Sleep option is missing when I click Start/Power symbol? There are only 3 options Lock/Shutdown/Restart. Anyone know how I get Sleep on the list of options as well please?

    Sometimes, the power plan can affect what's available:

    1. Go back to the Power Options window.
    2. Click on Change plan settings, then on Change advanced power settings.
    3. Select a different power plan and see if that restores the Sleep option.

      Thanks, tried that and chose Performance Plan but nothing changed.
