Sleeping in Squeak?

This may seem like a silly question, but here goes-

I'm trying to add some ability to the Squeak IRC client to keep me from
getting kicked off when I'm not around.  I'd like to run some IRC command
perhaps every 5 minutes (whois rev).

I'm looking for the Smalltalk equivalent of C's sleep(n) function.
Something that will simply wait for a number of seconds without the
ugliness of an always true #whileTrue: loop.

Is there one?
