You are not saying in what circumstances the screen (or your mac) goes to sleep.

If it happens while you are working on it, it could be that you have set a "hot corner": then if you accidentally move the cursor to that hot corner your mac may go to sleep.

Go to System Preferences->Mission Control, click on Hot Corners and turn off any that you don't want.

Hey there, CaptSalahuddin!


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


Have you tried pressing a button on the keyboard or the mouse? If that doesn't wake it up, you can also try pressing the power button once and wait to see if the screen powers on.


If none of those steps are working, you may want to try and reboot the computer: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac


Finally, if all else fails, we'd recommend booting into Recovery and reinstalling macOS from there. Here's how: How to reinstall macOS


We hope that this information is helpful.


​Have a great day!
