The MUnit Sleep processor pauses a MUnit test for a specified duration, simulating processing delays
in the flow under test. Use it to test time-dependent behavior or introduce controlled waits between
test steps.

```xml
<munit-tools:sleep time="100" timeUnit="MILLISECONDS"/>
```

`time`

Numerical value for the unit of time that your test waits before going to sleep.

`timeUnit`

The unit in which the `time` value is measured.

Possible values are:

- `MILLISECONDS` (default)

- `MICROSECONDS`

- `MINUTES`

- `NANOSECONDS`

- `SECONDS`

- `HOURS`
