iMac running ventura 13.4.1 the sleep command no longer works.

At first I thought maybe a still running process might be the cause, so I closed all open programs and web browser, but it did not matter, shut down the machine and re-booted, the same.

If anyone can help with this it would be very much appreciated.

Make sure nothing is connected to the computer except Apple made devices. Many devices are not aware of Apple's low power energy saver mode. If that's not possible, use Screen Saver instead of Energy Saver. The iMac not being run off battery is merely a convenience factor of quick waking and dark screen.
