No problem:

By the way, welcome to Apple Discussion.

Unfortunately, whenever your mac goes to sleep, iChat will disconnect.

The only way to resolve the issue is to not have your computer not go to sleep. You can however, just have your screen go to sleep (System Preferences>Energy Saver>Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for>Never and Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for>Whatever setting you prefer.

I hope this helps!
