 ===== Sleep Option =====
-The **Sleep** option is the most common Pause function. It is used when the workflow processing needs completely pause/delay the execution before continuing to the next step. None of the subsequent steps in the workflow will execute until the pause period is complete.
+The **Sleep** option is the most common Pause function. It is used when the workflow processing needs completely pause/delay the execution before continuing to the next step. This will block the current thread for the time specified. None of the subsequent steps in the workflow will execute until the pause period is complete. During sleep, the thread will not be able to communicate with the events so the workflow will go into sleep mode
