Can We Use Thread.sleep Method For Real-time Processing in Java ?

Java does not guarantee that Thread.sleep() will cause the thread to sleep for exactly N number of milliseconds. Sometime the thread can sleep for than N number of milliseconds.

In real-time processing we need precise time period for which a thread should run or sleep.

Therefore the invocation of Thread.sleep() method is not recommended for use in real-time processing.
