=head2 sleep

  Title   : sleep
  Usage   : $self->sleep
  Function: sleep for a number of seconds indicated by the delay policy
  Returns : none
  Args    : none

NOTE: This method keeps track of the last time it was called and only
imposes a sleep if it was called more recently than the delay_policy()
allows.

=cut

It issues a warning every time it actually sleeps. I find it 
inappropriate that a method warns me that it did what I asked it to do.
