If you want. If you don’t, use the `-t` flag for it to turn off after a set number of seconds or `-w` to do so after a specific process ends.

The more unixy way is probably `timeout <seconds> caffeinate` :)
Or `caffeinate sleep <seconds>` which has the (only) added benefit that it comes pre-installed with MacOS
Yes but this got me thinking is it makes more sense to sleep after timing out the caffeination instead of keeping the sleep command running ;) that's enough Unix for the day haha
