Sleep() should not return and break everything after. Sleep() will freeze/pause the script for the given time, and then continue.

that is like saying you can't put sleep() in any loops (timeout, scheduleevent, while, for) ;D

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.var1 = "This is echoed when timeout events occurs.";
  this.var2 = "This is echoed 5 seconds later";
  setTimer(1);
}

function onTimeout() {
  echo(this.var1);
  sleep(5);
  echo(this.var2);
  setTimer(1);
}

// above functions identical to the script below:

function onCreated() {
  this.var1 = "This is echoed when timeout events occurs.";
  this.var2 = "This is echoed 5 seconds later";
  scheduleEvent(1, "Timeout2", 0);
}

function onTimeout2() {
  echo(this.var1);
  sleep(5);
  echo(this.var2);
  scheduleEvent(5, "Timeout2", 0);
}

// above functions identical to the script below:

function onCreated() {
  this.var1 = "This is echoed when timeout events occurs.";
  this.var2 = "This is echoed 5 seconds later";
  
  this.loop = function() {
    echo(this.var1);
    sleep(5);
    echo(this.var2);
    sleep(1);
    this.loop();
  };
  
  this.loop();
}

// above functions identical to the script below:

function onCreated() {
  this.var1 = "This is echoed when timeout events occurs.";
  this.var2 = "This is echoed 5 seconds later";
  
  while(!waitfor(this, "timeout", 1)) {
    echo(this.var1);
    sleep(5);
    echo(this.var2);
  }
}
