Comment

Java does not guarantee that Thread.sleep() will cause the thread to

sleep for exactly N number of milliseconds. Sometime the thread

can sleep for than N number of milliseconds.

In real-time processing we need precise time period for which a

thread should run or sleep.

Therefore the invocation of Thread.sleep() method is not

recommended for use in real-time processing.

public class ThreadSleep {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

        Thread.sleep(2000);

        System.out.println("Sleep time in ms = " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start));
    }
}
