MacBook Air turns off in sleep mode

I have a 2018 MacBook Air that keeps shutting down when it is in sleep mode. I am running the latest version of MacOS but it has done this since I got the computer a 6 months ago. Before it would only do it every now and then but now it does it every time I close the lid.

I'm not sure what to try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
