: What's sleep, and where can I download it?

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 Jan 01) [foldoc]:

sleep

1. (Or "{block}") When a
{process} on a {multitasking} system asks the {scheduler} to
deactivate it until some given external event (e.g. an
{interrupt} or a specified time delay) occurs.

The alternative is to {poll} or "{busy wait}" for the event
but this uses processing power.

Also used in the phrase "sleep on" (or "block on") some
external event, meaning to wait for it.

E.g. the {Unix} command of the same name which pauses the
current process for a given number of seconds.

2. To go into partial deactivation to save power.

What's sleep~? I dunno what that is. All I know is I used to remember what sleep is and used to have it before the 6 weeks...

But some how it's lost. Are there some kind of place that will teach what sleep is?
