Well, the 3 sleep functions we now have are actually quite different. sleep() offers a basic second based functionality. As far as glibc goes sleep() on many platforms is implemented using nanosleep().
usleep() allows sleeping at 1/1,000,000 intervals
nanosleep() allows an easy way to sleep for given amount of seconds and sleep precision of up to 1/1,000,000,000 of a second. In addition allowing you to resume sleep if it was interrupted by a signal.
To me it seems like each of the 3 functions offer distinct functionality and the user now has greater flexibility, when it comes to pausing their scripts.
I agree with Ilia here. I'd keep them separate.
