When is it sensible to use Thread.Sleep()?

I always see people using Thread.Sleep() for creating delays in processing or something similar and people are always derided for using it this way.

When is it sensible/required to use Thread.Sleep()?

c# java multithreading

if you want a thread to stop doing something, somethimes when you make a endless loop, you don t want the loop to go non stop, because it will also take lots of CPU power, adding a thread.sleep in it will make the loop "take a break" and give the cpu some rest ^^.
