Utility to prevent your system from shutting off, hibernating or restarting.
Whether or not your power settings are working properly, you may have come across times when your system refused to respect your wishes and shut down or rebooted anyways. This can even lead to losing unsaved work.
Don't Sleep is a free utility which completes that simple task: it prevents your system from restarting, shutting down, hibernating or logging off.
Don't Sleep is a very niche utility and not very advanced, but still very useful in many circumstances.
