Let’s be honest. You’ve been there. You are deep in a YouTube rabbit hole, trying to follow a complex braiding technique, or maybe you’re streaming the deciding minutes of a Super Eagles match.

Your hands are full of ewa agoyin or they’re just too tired to tap the screen again. Then, boom! Your screen goes black. 🤦🏾‍♀️ That sudden darkness is pure wickedness. It breaks your focus, and you spend precious seconds fumbling with the lock screen. It’s the ultimate anti-vibe, especially when you are trying to stay locked in (or locked-on, as the youths say).

That small struggle ends now. We built the Nosleep: Stay Locked-In tool for this exact Lagos-life problem. It’s like having a dedicated assistant whose only job is to constantly whisper to your screen, “Oga, no sleep o. Eyes open!”

The Quick Connect: How to Start the Vibe

This is not rocket science. The goal is to get your screen glowing and keep it that way. You have two main options when you hit the tool.

1. The Full Vibes Start (No Timer)

If you just need your screen on indefinitely for a long meeting, presentation, or reading a huge PDF for your side hustle, this is the easiest move.

• Step 1: Check Input. Make sure the “Auto-Stop Timer” box is empty. No need to put anything there.
• Step 2: Hit the Button. Tap the big, beautiful “Start Nosleep Mode” button. It switches immediately from blue to a bold red, telling you, “We are active!”
• What Happens Next: The floating status card changes from ‘💤’ to a flashing ‘💡’. It confirms, “Screen is ON! Tap STOP to exit.” The card will subtly pulse with a green border, which is your visual assurance that the job is done. Your phone will not sleep until you tell it to.

Set It and Forget It: The Auto-Stop Timer Gist

What if you are watching a 45-minute webinar and don’t want to forget the tool running overnight? That’s where the Auto-Stop Timer section saves you from draining your battery.

2. The Smart Vibes Start (With Timer)

• Step 1: Input Time. Look for the “Auto-Stop Timer (Minutes)” box. Type in the exact duration you need, for example, 45 minutes.
• Step 2: Start the Clock. Hit the “Start Nosleep Mode” button.
• What Happens Next: The tool activates Nosleep and two new things happen:
  • The status card changes to ‘⏳’ and says “Timer Active!”
  • An interactive countdown display pops up right below the message, showing you the remaining time in MM:SS (like 44:59, 44:58, etc.). You can see the time melt away. If the countdown drops below 1 minute, the numbers switch to red, giving you that final, urgent alert.
• When Time is Up: The screen lock automatically releases. The status card switches to ‘🎉’ and says, “Completed!” Your phone will now revert to its normal sleep settings.

The Side Gist: Your Nosleep Stats (Usage Tracker)

This is the sneaky, but useful, part of the tool. It’s not just about keeping your screen on; it’s about seeing how much time you actually spend focused. The Nosleep Usage Tracker uses your browser’s memory to keep a running tally across sessions.

• What It Tracks: Every second the tool is running, it adds to your totals for Today, This Week, and This Month.
• Why It Matters: Are you presenting more than you thought? Is your reading time consistent? This data gives you a practical, no-fluff summary of your active screen usage.
• No Stress: The system handles the complex math (converting seconds to minutes, hours, days, etc.) and automatically resets the tracker at the start of a new day, week, or month. You just see the clean, bold numbers.

Remember, this tool relies on the browser’s secret sauce (the Wake Lock API). If you move to a different tab or minimize the browser, your device might force the lock to release. If the screen dims, just click “Start” again. Stay locked-in, stay winning. What are you using those extra screen-on minutes for today?
