You failed to mention that you are using Qt 4.x :-).

If you *need* to sleep, I'd go with Tony's solution; just derive some
class from QThread and "unprotect" the relevant methods. I've done this
in my own projects.

You don't need to know what thread you're in; sleep() and friends are
static methods. Just write:

  MyThread::msleep(interval);

That said, see also Keith and Thiago's replies :-).
