I had this happen to me at one point because the XFCE screensaver
started automatically, even if XFCE wasn't running. I have all the
desktops installed so I can use their programs even if I'm not
running
them directly, and boot them if I choose. So, if you have any other
desktop installed, or even other desktop applications, this might be
the case for you as well. It seems that Gnome has a default to go to
sleep automatically after 15 minutes of idle time, regardless of any
other settings. The thread Tim pointed to has tips on how to turn
that off.
AFAIK this is at least partly controlled by GDM, so using a different
login manager such as SDDM is likely to fix it without having to edit
anything. I use SDDM and have never had to put up with this.
