If you have a 7500 or 8500, you need to enable the Energy Saver control
panel and set it to "Never" (or half an hour or something), otherwise your
monitor and machine will sleep automatically after 5 minutes. I think that
feature should take effect after half an hour, not 5 minutes -- I can sit
thinking about my work and staring at the screen for more than 5 minutes.

With a NuBus or other machine, just turn off the Energy Saver control panel.
