How to make it so computer doesn't sleep?

I'm running a long simulation on my computer overnight, and I need it to stay awake the whole time. Sometimes it goes into sleep mode even when I set the power options. How to make it so my computer doesn't sleep at all?

I just had this issue with my work laptop yesterday. Go to your Power & Sleep settings and change the screen timeout option to 'Never' for both battery and plugged-in states.

Just remember that keeping your computer running all night will consume more electricity and eventually affect the battery health, leading to replacement costs down the line.

Be careful downloading third-party software off the internet to prevent sleep. It is much safer to stick to your computer's built-in control panel settings to avoid malware.
