First, a bit of operating-system design context. It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. The answer is hardware interrupts. The OS programs a timer chip that then triggers an interrupt that wakes up the CPU and the OS can then schedule your thread. Decades of madness.
