Which one have you set your iPod Touch? I want to hit the right balance for longer battery life and convenience of not unlocking every so often.
 
One minute is your best bet. If you need to do something on it then unlocking it is no big deal.
 
I like 5 minutes because it allows me time to change songs, etc without the screen turning off, since I have the passcode lock set to immediately. I used to use never, but then the battery drains pretty quickly since I don't use automatic brightness
