A thread waiting on a condition variable (a) can be explicitly notified and (b) may wake up before the time has expired (spurious wakeups). If you just want to sleep for a fixed amount of time, then sleep_for is the right tool.
My understanding is that sleep_for can wait more than the time wanted, right? So basically a condition_variable can wait less, while sleep_for can wait a bit more? Joel Lamotte
