Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used
Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>
Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.
Do you also recommend THIS facility?
https://github.com/x74353/Amphetamine-Enhancer
Thanks.
Ooh. Interesting that Enhancer is from GitHub (not Apple's app store),
but it requires the original Amphetamine from Apple's App Store. I
wonder why not offer from Github too?
That's explained on the same page under the "Why is a Separate App
Needed?" heading... Try reading it. ; )
Also, Redditors told me about caffeinate command in Terminal which works
too and already included in macOS!
Unfortunately, caffeinate doesn't work anymore with modern versions of
macOS.

Then you should be good to go.
But https://i.imgur.com/1LmSzMK.png doesn't show an option to make
system not sleep. It only has power nap and display off options. Also,
macOS Big Sur doesn't have Energy Saver. I think it is called Battery.
Unfortunately, caffeinate doesn't work anymore with modern versions of
macOS.

My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1
Works like a dream!
It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and
it will be up and running once you awake!
Is it still buggy?
When was it "buggy"? During the beta, sure. Otherwise? No, it's been
rock solid for tens of millions if not hundreds or millions of users.
I'm currently on 12.3 beta, and it is also rock solid.
Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing is. Does it crash, corrupt
data, brick computers, or fail to work? No, it does not do any of
these things.
Maybe you should stop listening to idiot trolls?
I see lots of bugs in public stable versions like in Big Sur, iOS v15,
etc.

Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This
one I don't want to sleep at all.

Really? It's still in macOS 12.3, though I can't say I've ever used it.

I saw that, but why doesn't original Amphetamine have a downloadable
version from GitHub instead of App Store?
Because the developer wants it to be available on the App Store. Is
there an actual problem here, or are you just trying to manufacture
one out of thin air?>
Yes, because I'm old school and still prefer to download outside of
stores.
