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. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping?
