I got a Mac Mini and noticed that in system preferences, there is only turn off the screen after set amount of time.

Does it mean that after, say an hour, only the display is turned off but the Mac stays on?

I don’t like the idea of keeping my Mac on 24/7 and want my Mac to go to sleep after a set amount of inactivity.

Could someone explain to me how the sleep works for Mac mini? Thanks in advance.
