Out of interest, what are you expecting to demonstrate?  In FreeBSD,
both sleep(3) and usleep(3) are implemented using nanosleep(2).
(This differs from the traditional implementation of sleep(3) which
used alarm(2) and pause(2)).

nanosleep(2) sleeps an integral number of ticks which is rounded up by
one tick.
