Hey there, friend! So your iPad keeps falling asleep on you, huh? Honestly, it's like dealing with a dramatic roommate who speaks my language. Let's fix that together — it's actually super easy!
First things first, grab your iPad, head into Settings, and tap on Display & Brightness. Look for "Auto-Lock." Right now, it's probably set to two or three minutes like a overachieving alarm clock. Tap it and choose "Never." Wait — before you panic about the screen staying on forever — hear me out!
If you don't want it on forever (no judgment, though), you can pick a longer duration like five or ten minutes. That's plenty of time to read an article, follow a recipe, or queue up your next show without the screen going dark at the worst moment.

Now, here's a pro tip: don't forget your Brightness settings too. A dimmer screen won't drain your battery as quickly, so you can keep that lovely long wake time going longer. It's giving maximum screen time, minimum battery anxiety.
Oh, and if you're using an older setting for Accessibility, check Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size for the "Auto-Lock" option. Apple likes to hide things in funny places, right?
