By using Don't Sleep, you can prevent system shutdown, standby, hibernate, turn off, and restart, ensuring that your tasks can continue uninterrupted.

The program works by notifying the operating system that it has critical tasks to perform when the screen saver is about to activate or the monitor is going to deactivate. It also prioritizes the shutdown command to prevent other programs from closing before Don't Sleep can intercept it.
