I use `caffeinate -dsim` permanently. In short I ask the computer to avoid any kind of sleep.

  -d Create an assertion to prevent the display from sleeping.
  -i Create an assertion to prevent the system from idle sleeping.
  -m Create an assertion to prevent the disk from idle sleeping.
  -s Create an assertion to prevent the system from sleeping. This
     assertion is valid only when system is running on AC power.
