Sometimes I need to stop my computer from going into "sleep" mode...
For example, if I'm not planning to be on my computer, but...
I'm downloading or uploading a very large file
I'm waiting for a Skype call
I'm running a program which will take a while, and I don't want it to stop in the middle
(and plenty of other reasons...)
There are computer settings you can set to do this - but it's a little bit complicated...
This method is super-easy...
All you do is go to this web page with your web browser...
https://nosleep.page
then click on the button that says "Prevent device sleeping"...
Voila!
I think it has to be in a browser window that's "open" though for it to work - not in a hidden "tab" in your browser...
I've tested it, and it works for me... :)
It might be useful for you... :)
Best wishes,
Dien
