      Another problem with SLEEP is that a key press can interrupt the delay.

      DO
      PRINT "Hello";
      Delay .5 '<<<<<<<<<<<< any number of seconds down to .05
      PRINT "World!";
      LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""

      END

      SUB Delay (dlay!)
      start! = TIMER
      DO WHILE start! + dlay! >= TIMER
      IF start! > TIMER THEN start! = start! - 86400
      LOOP
      END SUB


      In QB64 _DELAY can be used to do the same thing down to .001 or one millisecond.
