How do I change the sleep settings on this Mac?

[Andy Collins]

Hi all -

I've looked at and played around with the settings under system, trying to stop this Mac from dozing off when I'm away from it for a few minutes. I can't seem to shake it awake, it doesn't snore, but certainly sleeps deeply, and only comes back to life after a couple of minutes of me trying different key strokes. How can I have control of when it sleeps, and when it wakens? -

Go to energy setting and you should be able to accomplish this. It will be under both AC and battery tabs. It's the first option.

Sarah - I've looked in there, but couldn't really make sense of what was
meant. There are options for screen saver or for screen dim/sleep, but I
couldn't find anything about the actual system going to sleep -
