ESP8266 turns off after some time

Hi
I have a ESP8266 wifi module connected to an arduino uno. On the ESP8266 I set up a socket server witch is working fine. And I can communicate with it as I expect.

After having run the ESP8266 some time (like 5-10 minutes) it automatically turns off (or goes into some kind of sleep mode. The LED turns off). I then have to re power the whole thing and reset it using the reset pin.

Why is my ESP8266 turning off and disconnecting from the WIFI?

Is your server lightly loaded? The default is to sleep.

Check into using wifi_set_sleep_type(NONE_SLEEP_T); in the Espressif documentation.
