In python, it is easy to create a time delay with time.sleep(). Is there any equivalent for node.js? I cannot find it. I suspect it may be due to asynchronous nature of node.js. Hoping someone on StackOverflow can provide an easy solution like time.sleep() in node.js or javascript.

1It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison, sleeping in python vs js so it's difficult to answer. Perhaps you could share your actual problem? – aw04 Mar 25 '16 at 13:14

Probably approaching problem all wrong and should be using promises – charlietfl Mar 25 '16 at 13:40
