Check both your screensaver and sleep timers.
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Screensaver and look at the time that is set in the lower left box.
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Energy Saver and look at the time that it is set to Sleep.
If they are the same, then you need to set the Sleep timer to a greater time than the Screensaver timer.
