In System Preferences : Energy Saver, adjust the slider to the length of time that you do not want the display to sleep, and also select Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off.


If you do not want a log-in window on display sleep, System Preferences : Security & Privacy panel : General, and uncheck Require password [... ] after sleep or screen saver begins.
