Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the display sleeps.
If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after" setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you have a screen saver enabled too.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>
Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.
Do you also recommend THIS facility?
https://github.com/x74353/Amphetamine-Enhancer
Thanks.Ooh. Interesting that Enhancer is from GitHub (not Apple's app store),
but it requires the original Amphetamine from Apple's App Store. I
wonder why not offer from Github too?
Also, Redditors told me about caffeinate command in Terminal which works
too and already included in macOS!

Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the display sleeps.Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This one I don't want to sleep at all.

My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1
Works like a dream!
It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and it
will be up and running once you awake!
Is it still buggy?It never *was* buggy for most people - you just fell for the hype. What supposed bugs do you claim I have experienced running it since release?
Hint: none.
All software has bugs. Just because some blogger reports some people experience an issue doesn't mean that you or most others will too.
