Is it possible to keep a VPN connection open with sleep mode enabled (Windows 11)

I recently enabled sleep mode on my PC, just to save a bit of power when not in use.

However, for work I have to connect to a VPN to access a server, and every time the PC goes to sleep the VPN disconnects, presumably because the Wifi turns off in sleep mode?

How can I get around this?

I tried going in to Device Manager and under Network Adapters -> Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160Mhz -> Properties -> Power Management

I unchecked the box that says: "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

But it didn't fix the issue
