What caffeine? The gnome extensions to stop the screensaver?

That depends on what you use to automatically show the screensaver and lock your screen.

That's not a thing.

Do you get a screensaver/locker or is it just that the screen turns off?
In the latter case: "xset -dpms" ("xset +dpms" will reactivate it, check "xset --help" for more details)
