Since upgrading to Big Sur, I don't see a slider in Energy Saver Preferences for computer sleep. Is there a way to get it back?
Mac mini 2018 or later
I have now restarted my computer and it seems to be working now. So I guess my problem is solved!
I don’t actually have a screensaver set up. For some reason I just prefer the screen to be black! I do have Hot Corners set up including one for Sleep but just wanted it to sleep automatically. Oh well, it’s working to my liking now, just needed to restart the computer. Thanks very much for your help!

No, not for the computer sleep. Just for the screen.
There's just an option to not let the computer sleep when the screen is sleeping. The more important aspect of Energy Saver is the screen sleep.
Thanks, but now my screen won't go to sleep either. My monitor is kind of old, would that be the reason?
You do have a screen saver setup, right? Then it should cut in at the time set in the slider.
To manually start the screensaver set up the Hot Corners with one is Start Screen Saver and another if Disable Screen Saver.
