When you don't want the Mac to sleep, you can do the following 1. Go to utilities with command+shitft+U In the finder. 2. Open Terminal. 3. Type: pmset noidle Until you press ctrl+C, your MacBook will not sleep.
I alsor recommend learning more about the pmset command, as that does permit you to change several power and battery related settings that are not normally changeable. Hope this helps.
