VLC not prevent system from going to sleep mode. Is it normal?

I'm using LXDE and xfce4-power-manager.

I have configured it to turn off screen after 5 minutes, and go to sleep after 15 minutes. I have set sleep mode to "hibernation". It works correctly and put system to hibernation after 15-minutes not using.

When I watch long video using vlc, vlc prevent system from turning off monitor, but not prevent it from going to hibernation (sleep mode). Is it normal, or it's a bug or mis-configuration?
