The sleep time is the sum of specified values, hours, minutes seconds and milliseconds. A negative value can be supplied to any of them provided the total sleep time is positive

Note that sleep times are always hints to be interpred by the OS how it feels - small times may either be ignored or rounded up to a minimum timeslice. Note also that the system clocks often have a fairly low granularity too, which complicates measuring how long a sleep actually took.
