Why does my screen keep turning off after 2-3 seconds?

[Android Central Question]

I have my screen timeout period set for 30 minutes and when I’m using my phone it goes to sleep after 2-3 seconds and when I click the power button again it sends me right back to where it was without me typing my password. How do I fix this?
