Idiom #45 Pause execution for 5 seconds

Sleep for 5 seconds in current thread, before proceeding with next instructions.

Illustration 
delay 5.0;
#include <unistd.h>
usleep(5000000);
(Thread/sleep 5000)
#include <thread>

import core.thread;

import 'dart:io';
sleep(const Duration(seconds: 5));
import "dart:async";
await new Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds : 5));
Process.sleep(5000)

timer:sleep(5000).
module M_time

	// Instructions after delay
},5000);

Do you know the best way to do this in your language ?
