Export a Video Overnight

[Faustine5EF3]

I'm exporting a one hour long video and the exporting process will take four hours (according to the estimation). It's evening now and I already need to sleep. I thought of leaving the exporting process on going overnight but my laptop constantly goes to sleep so I have to manually wake it everytime or else, for some reason, it will turn off. Thus, I'm required to remain awake (but I can't, I really can't). What should I do before leaving my laptop in exporting process overnight without my sleep getting interrupted?

Set your laptop's power settings so it only puts the screen to 'sleep' and not the computer itself.
