We are looking for the "Screen timeout" option

If you like the phone to stay turned on and not time out, select a longer amount of time such as "1 hour." This will ensure that the phone doesn't time out for a very long time
.

If you like the phone to time out very quickly, choose something shorter such as "15 seconds." The shorter times save battery life because when the screen times out, it uses less of the battery's power
.
The longer it stays turned on, the more battery it uses. That is very important to remember when making a choice.
