  See this example which I stole from the web:

  You probably have to enlarge it a bit in order to be able to read the
text, but it shows where the "Change advanced power settings" link is.
And when you click on that link, it will popup the 'Power Options' UI
which is shown on the right.

probably as old as XP (or even before), so we're talking 20++ year old
stuff.

  Fair enough. You have a way to let it sleep and if the unexpected log
off doesn't bother you too much, good on you.
