I got so worried when my computer screen went black during an online exam. It is just the default eco-mode; you can easily disable it in the Windows Power and Sleep settings.

I literally just fixed this yesterday on my new laptop. Go to Windows settings, search for 'Power, sleep and battery settings' and change the screen off time to 'Never'.

Just go to your power settings and change the sleep timer to 'Never'. I do this whenever I am rendering videos overnight so the process doesn't stop mid-way.

Keeping the computer awake is easy, but make sure you also take breaks for your health. Sitting too long increases BP, so set a timer to stand up and stretch every hour.

Just like keeping your computer awake, managing thyroid needs regular monitoring. Change the system power settings to keep it active, and don't forget to take your regular health checks.
