I would opine that if you don't know what thread is running, then you should
not be sleep()ing.  I'm guessing that you are trying to sleep in a message
or event handler.  While you may be able to retrieve a reference to the
event dispatch thread, it isn't best form to put this thread to sleep.  To
keep the user interface alive, you should handle and return quickly.

I realize you're only looking for a fraction of a second. But in general, if
it seems you can't do something maybe you shouldn't be doing it.  Then
again, sometimes I don't know whether I can't do something, or don't know
how to do something....hmmm.

So I suspect a good design would be to create and start a runnable object.
In that object perform the functions that occur before and after the sleep.
Keep the user interface alive.
