This has ceased to happen ever since my update with version 1 of 1809.
My computer and screens continue to run no matter how long I leave it
abandoned. This doesn't seem to be a unique problem but Google seems
to only find advice which doesn't apply to my Settings menu system.

My Power Management settings a
"High Performance" selected.
Screen OFF after 20 minutes
SLEEP after 30 minutes.

What am I missing?

1) Is Sleep available in the shutdown menu ?

Yes, but I have never used it.

2) Are you running a movie player right now ?
In the Power options, there might be an option
that supports a movie player being able to keep the
machine awake.

I'm not running a movie player.

3) Does the machine try to sleep, and immediately wake up. Try

powercfg /lastwake

and find out why it woke up.

I'll come back to you on that later.

4) In Cortana, try typing "Reliability" and access
the Reliability monitor. Check the colored dots on
the graph, for events which might be happening at
the same instant the machine was trying to sleep.
Maybe something is crashing or exiting.

There are number of events but no pattern and nothing relevant as far
as I can see.

The tenforums.com site is a pretty good source of info.
It shows where the sleep button is hiding. Look for
"Option One" "Item 7" for a picture.
