to sleep a thread instead of entire process you have to use int nanosleep(const struct timespec *req, struct timespec *rem). You need to pass struct timespec { time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */ }; as arguments. req will tell the function how much time is required to sleep for. While sleeping some signal may appear. In that case rem will contain how much time still remains to be slept for. You can use time to sleep again for the remaining time duration.
