How to Enable/Disable «Do not Disturb» Mode on Google Pixel 8a

Sometimes we all want to be in silence to rest in peace. To do this, a special sleep function has been invented in all phones on the android platform. When it is activated, everyone trying to call you will hear an answering machine instead of beeps.
