Prevent monitor sleeping while gaming

Hi,

I currently have a pretty aggressive timeout for my monitor to sleep (not the whole computer) since I have an OLED monitor and I tend to keep my computer on and step away from it.
The timeout works fine, the problem is that it seems that games don’t prevent the monitor from going to sleep.

How can I prevent the timeout from happening while in game?

Thanks!
