    When my computer goes into stand by, it only stays like this for about 5min.
    I do not touch anything, it just restores by itself.
    How can i make it so i can stay like this for the night?

    Is your system set to wake by mouse movement? Or LAN activity sometimes?

    Maybe your mouse is moving ever so slightly (vibration, someone walking accross the floor, closing a door). Turn the mouse upside down.

    Or if you have programs opened, or some sort of network activity is keeping it awake. I think that is a BIOS setting.

    If it's LAN activity, you may want to look at something like this-- I'll use mine as an example:

    Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Intel(R) Pro/1000 MT Network Connection -> Properties -> Advanced -> Wake On Settings -> OS Controlled. Then Power Management tab check/uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby"
