sleeping

[Hal Daume III]

You can use the timeout function
  
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2001-April/001816.html

and simply wait for the exception.

or, if you require less precision, you could just loop and check the 
System.Time until a certain amount of time has elapsed.

Other than that, I don't think so.
