import java.util.Date;

public class TestSleep {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		System.out.println("Testing..." + new Date());
		
		try {
		
			//sleep 5 seconds
			Thread.sleep(5000);
			
			System.out.println("Testing..." + new Date());
			
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		
	}
