Keep laptop ON sometimes

  • 772

Is a script/program to keep my laptop ON, preventing it to go into sleep/hibernate mode, sometimes?

I do not want to changed the settings, because only sometimes I want it to stay awake, and other times I want to get it into sleep/hibernate mode.

Note: setting it to never go into hibernat/sleep mode and when leaving to press command + l is not an option
