# Node.js Sleep()
for those who need Sleep() just like me.
*UPDATE: NO LONGER REQUIRES CHILD PROCESS, using deasync instead. It will fall back on self child process mode if deasync fails.*
```
@package system-sleep
@version 1.2

```
* will make the system wait xxx milliseconds.
* can be used to delay script execution.
* is often used to relax the system in between resource intensive tasks.
* works on every platform x86 + x64 Windows / Linux / OSX
* Existing sleep() solutions use a blocking while loop which uses 100% CPU. This is incredibly stupid.
* Also, many sleep() solutions are only for Windows or only for Linux.
### Install using NPM
