# Sleep

> Use Sleep tools with Agno agents.

Enable Agno agents to intentionally pause their own execution. While most tools are designed for action (fetching data, writing files), SleepTools is designed for timing and coordination.

```python theme={null}

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.sleep import SleepTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


# Example 1: Enable specific sleep functions
agent = Agent(tools=[SleepTools(enable_sleep=True)], name="Sleep Agent")

# Example 2: Enable all sleep functions
agent_all = Agent(tools=[SleepTools(all=True)], name="Full Sleep Agent")

# Test the agents

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.print_response("Sleep for 2 seconds")
    agent_all.print_response("Sleep for 5 seconds")
```

## Run the Example

```bash theme={null}
# Clone and setup repo
git clone https://github.com/agno-agi/agno.git
cd agno/cookbook/91_tools

# Create and activate virtual environment
./scripts/demo_setup.sh
source .venvs/demo/bin/activate

python sleep_tools.py
```
