Sleep Doesn't Actually Sleep

Connect to the REPL then run:

import sleep
sleep.sleep(10) #Expecting the console to hang for 10 seconds before returning

The console returns immediately.

Sleep unblocks on incoming interrupts - It's safer to wrap it in a loop and check for time elapsed if you really want to block for a certain amount of time.

@marekventur , so would it be a mistake to implement sleep.sleep() to loop on the elapsed ticks?
