How do I prevent my M2 MacBook Air from sleeping? (2023)

So I tried following the lastest community-answered question, which was posted and answered on June 12th, 2022. The only problem was that this post is outdated; especially there is no Power Adapter option on the sidebar. Can someone help me with this?

Try this to turn off sleep mode


  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Lock Screen  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Do any of the following:
    • Click the pop-up menu next to Turn display off on battery when inactive on the right, then choose an option.
    • Click the pop-up menu next to Turn display off on power adapter when inactive on the right, then choose an option.
