Causes the current executing thread to sleep for the specified time(in milliseconds) but it do not lose ownership of any monitors.

From Google:
Suspend process execution pending occurrence of an event; the term �block� is also used.
Basically, it means that the current thread does nothing for that time period (simply waits/blocks).

hi memati bas,
using sleep method we are causing current to sleep for specific time
and once that thread is sleep it leaves a cpu and another thread can start their excecution
rememeber(at any instance of time cpu executes only one process)
