Android service stops collecting data when the screen is turned off

So I have a service that logs ProximitySensor data.

It all works fine when I have the screen ON, but like 5 seconds after the screen goes OFF the log stops.

How can I keep my Android service running when the screen is turned off?

You need a partial wake lock, but it will eat the battery like candy.
