$ type sleep
sleep is /bin/sleep
(May be different on your system, of course.)
If at the beginning of a script you explicitly set PATH to a list of
directories whose contents can all be trusted, it's simpler just to say
sleep
and let the system find it among the directories specified in PATH.
It's not as if you're striving for fast execution here.
