How to turn off the sleep setting.

I don’t actually advise turning the sleep setting off but rather extending the timeout period.

Windows 10

1. Hit ‘windows key’ then type in “Sleep” 
2. The “Power & sleep settings” will pop up at this point, hit enter.
   • 
   • You may need to click on it, or may need to highlight it before hitting enter.
3. Once in the menu, go to the screen section and choose a timeout time.
   • You should be in the “When plugged in, turn off after” section if you are on a laptop in one of the classrooms.
4. On average 30 minutes should be fine, but fine-tune it to the time that you wish and close the window.
   • You can use the Arrow keys or the scroll function to select the time you want.
   • Note that you may have the ability to set the time to “never” in order to make the screen always on. I do not recommend it, for if you forget to turn the laptop off when you leave the classroom. You may still be logged on.

Mac

1. Hit ‘command’ + ‘space bar’ then type in “Energy Saver” and hit enter.
2. Choose between “Battery” and “Power Adapter”.
   • The Power Adapter is when it is plugged in.
3. Move the slider  “Display Sleep” to the appropriate time and close the window.
