How to stop Macbook from going to sleep when Spotify is playing music

Hi all,


When I listen to music on Spotify, my macbook goes to sleep after a certain time if I am not actively using the Macbook. I was wondering how to prevent this from happening?


Watching videos doesn't make the Macbook sleep, but playing music on Spotify does, which does not make any sense.


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
