   Note: Sleep is attended by a relaxation of the muscles, and
         the absence of voluntary activity for any rational

         profound, and there is less blood in the cerebral
         vessels. It is susceptible of greater or less intensity
         or completeness in its control of the powers.
         [1913 Webster]

6. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)
sleep
 vi.

    1. [techspeak] To relinquish a claim (of a process on a multitasking
    system) for service; to indicate to the scheduler that a process may be
    deactivated until some given event occurs or a specified time delay
    elapses.

    2. In jargon, used very similarly to v. block; also in sleep on, syn.:
    with block on. Often used to indicate that the speaker has relinquished a
    demand for resources until some (possibly unspecified) external event: ?
    They can't get the fix I've been asking for into the next release, so I'm
    going to sleep on it until the release, then start hassling them again.?


7. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
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.
