Function sleep

sleep(ms): void
Blocks execution for a given amount of time
Parameters
- ms: number
  The sleep duration in milliseconds
Returns void
Remarks
Node.js uses an asynchronous event loop. This function provides a simple way to block execution for a given amount of time, while still allowing scripting events, like debugger messages to be processed. If your script is designed to be asynchronous, you shouldn't need this function.
