In system preferences under battery if it’s a laptop and energy savor if it’s a desktop, you can alter the amount of time it takes for the system to go to sleep. If it’s a laptop, remember that there will be both a battery and power adaptor pane that you will have to adjust if you use the machine in both situations. You can change the timeout time all the way to 3 hours or even Never, though I don’t recommend you turn it entirely off.
