sleep() has nothing to do with synchronisation. If the thread had the monitor before sleep(), it has it during sleep(). If it didn't have it before sleep(), it doesn't have it during sleep().
In contrast, wait() requires the thread to have the lock before wait(), and releases the lock while waiting.
A bartender will very shortly be complaining that your login name "kris" does not comply with the JavaRanch standards. To avoid that, go change it now.
