Sleep in clamshell mode - MBP M3

[Sptzz]

Is it possible to have the MBP sleep whilst in clamshell mode (power always connected) and waking it up with an external mouse and/or keyboard?

If so, how does one achieve automatic sleeping? By turning off the "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off"?? And if so, how does one define when to sleep? Say I want it to sleep if I've been away for 2 hours, how to achieve that?

Thank you!

Sleep is working just like on normal macbook.

By turning off the "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off"??

Yes

And if so, how does one define when to sleep? Say I want it to sleep if I've been away for 2 hours, how to achieve that?

I think you can set display off time in lock screen settings and mac will go to sleep eventually when screen is off.

If you go to Settings > Lock Screen, you can adjust the delay before the display automatically shuts off:

Thanks all! Wasnt sure if turning off display was associated with sleep! That makes sense!
