I have installed the BSPWM edition and noticed that the screens will be off automatically after 10 minutes. I am having trouble in locating what is responsible for it and how to edit it. I appreciate any pointer.
Welcome to 
forums.
This happens while you’re working or while your system is in idle?
Thanks for replying. It is when the computer is idle.

Thanks for the welcome and I think I have figured out the problem. I was looking for the power settings and packages responsible for screen time out settings until I found this post https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/329893/screen-turns-off-after-10-minutes-and-i-cant-find-out-why
In short, adding xset -dpms & and xset s off & to bspwmrc stop the screens turning off automatically after 10 minutes idle.

Welcome to the forum!
The more hands-on method of handling this, including other power related settings, is installing a power daemon, like xfce4. It will let you customize when your screen or computer turns off, and what the power/sleep buttons do. Just make sure to add it to your startup script (e.g. bspwmrc)
yay -S xfce4-power-manager
~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc
xfce4-power-manager &
