[SOLVED] Why does Zorin want to sleep after 10 minutes?

I don't get it. I just installed a new Zorin core on its own drive. After about 10 minutes, the display starts to dim, and it goes to sleep. I have checked in Settings/Power, and it is not set to sleep. Where can I change this setting? It caused my updates to be put on hold (and there are a lot of updates with a new OS). I mean, I have to sit in fron of the computer and move the mouse every ten minutes or so or it goes to sleep!

Oh, I see! I must not have checked Brightness & Lock. So simple. I still have to untrain my brain from Windows mode. sorry to bother you with such trivia. I should have figured it out. Probably would have eventually, but thanks very much Wolfie!
