How to turn off sleep mode on macOS using the Terminal command

Here’s how to turn off sleep mode on macOS using the Terminal command:

Disable sleep mode

Open Terminal and enter this command:

sudo pmset -a sleep 0

This command disables sleep mode for all power modes (-a flag). You’ll need to enter your administrator password when prompted.

Enable sleep mode

To re-enable sleep mode later, you can use:

sudo pmset -a sleep 1
