Why does my Macbook Pro go to sleep randomnly?

My Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 and 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory, just goes to sleep randomnly for no reason at all, i was just doing some work when my macbook just suddenly goes to sleep, there is no magnets around, only the ethernet cable is plugged in, the charger and a wireless mouse usb, even when im other places with nothing attached to the computer it goes to sleep, no magnets are around it. Any help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Reset SMC. worked.

1. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Choose the method for:

2.Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

MagSafe is the connector attached to the power adapter that attaches magnetically

to the power port of the computer. There are different types of them.

SMC reset does not cause any problem.

After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
