[Boost-users] inconvenient for boost::thread::sleep

boost::thread::sleep, IMHO, it's too inconvenient. I get these example code to sleep 1 second, { boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); xt.sec += 1; // change xt to next second boost::thread::sleep(xt); } and, only 1 line in another platform(origianl plaform or java) { sleep(1000); } hmmm... Too inconvenient, and, to make things worse, quite a heavy calling. Is there any suggestion for me? Thanks.
