When you’re done using your Chromebook, you can sign out, put it to sleep, or turn it off.
If you own a Chromebook, you may have noticed its annoying tendency to slip into sleep mode at the blink of an eye. In fact, it can be hard to keep Chromebooks from entering sleep mode. Not only do most Chromebooks have a feature that switches on Chrome OS sleep mode when you shut the laptop lid, but the operating system also includes a fail safe that forces that laptop to hibernate after around six minutes if no action is being taken.
This helps Chromebooks save battery life and improve security. However, the sleep mode has proved more annoying than helpful – particularly because you can’t just go to settings and turn it off. There is no built-in way to stop the Chromebook narcolepsy, which means you need to get creative. Here’s how to keep Chrome awake.
Chromebooks automatically enter sleep mode when the lid is clammed shut or the device is left doing nothing for around 6 minutes or so (known as the ‘sleep timeout’).
Chrome OS normally puts your operating system into a low-power sleep mode when you close the lid. This can be problematic if you hook your laptop up to an external monitor. Here’s how to stop your Chromebook from going to sleep when you close the lid.
On Windows and Mac, it's easy to keep your computer from falling asleep via power settings. Chrome OS doesn't have any of these options, and it only keeps the screen for a few extra minutes when the power cord is plugged in. So when you need to keep your computer on for a while to download many files, give a presentation, or keep playing music, the free extension Keep Awake is the answer.

About Chromebooks:
A Chromebook is a laptop or tablet running the Linux-based Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are primarily used to perform a variety of tasks using the Google Chrome browser, with most applications and data residing in the cloud rather than on the machine itself. All Chromebooks released since late 2017 can also run Android apps. Some Chromebooks can run Linux apps.
The first Chromebooks for sale, by Acer Inc. and Samsung, began shipping in 2011. In addition to laptop models, a desktop version, called a Chromebox, was introduced in May 2012, and an "all-in-one" device, called a Chromebase, was introduced in January 2014, by LG Electronics.
