Hi docfields,

It sounds like you might need to adjust the energy saving preferences on your Mac. You'll want to make sure that your Mac going to sleep doesn't inturrupt your network connection. You can learn how here: Save energy on your Mac - Apple Support

If you need additional support you can reach out here: Get Support

Take care.
