    Does sleep() system call cause the process to be put on the wait queue?
    I am hoping sleep() does not cause a spin lock. My objective being to
    force the process to give up the CPU for some duration of time. I
    appreciate any helpful response to resolve this question in my mind.

    Thanks in advance
