You can t  and shouldn t  block processing with a sleep function  However  you can use setTimeout to kick off a function after a delay   setTimeout function   alert  hi     1000     Depending on your needs  setInterval might be useful  too

You need to re-factor the code into pieces  This doesn t stop execution  it just puts a delay in between the parts   function partA             window setTimeout partB 1000      function partB
