Keep it plugged in.

I am not sure what that means as it seems self-contradictory, but if the
machine is on battery it WILL sleep, period. The only way to prevent it
from sleeping on battery is to keep using it until its battery drains.

"Keep using it" can be running an application that prevents sleep.
there are many ways to do so, even some apps that only prevent sleep,
but doing something like playing a video will prevent sleep.
