<p>The sleep time is the sum of specified values, hours, minutes seconds and milliseconds. 
  A negative value can be supplied to any of them provided the total sleep time 
  is positive</p>
<p>Note that sleep times are always hints to be interpred by the OS how it feels 
  - small times may either be ignored or rounded up to a minimum timeslice. Note 
  also that the system clocks often have a fairly low granularity too, which complicates 
  measuring how long a sleep actually took.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>   &lt;sleep milliseconds=&quot;10&quot;/&gt;</pre>
Sleep for about 10 mS. 
<pre>   &lt;sleep seconds=&quot;2&quot;/&gt;</pre>
Sleep for about 2 seconds. 
<pre>   &lt;sleep hours=&quot;1&quot; minutes=&quot;-59&quot; seconds=&quot;-58&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>Sleep for one hour less 59:58, or two seconds again </p>
<pre>   &lt;sleep/&gt;</pre>
Sleep for no time at all. This may yield the CPU time to another thread or process.
