ComfyUI Node: Sleep

Sleep:

The Sleep node is designed to introduce a delay in the execution of your workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to synchronize processes, wait for external resources, or simply introduce a pause between operations. By allowing you to specify the delay in both minutes and seconds, the Sleep node offers precise control over the timing of your workflow. This can help in managing resource utilization and ensuring that subsequent operations are executed at the right moment.

Sleep Input Parameters:

input

This parameter accepts any input type and serves as the data that will be passed through the node after the delay. It does not affect the delay duration but ensures that the workflow continues with the provided input once the delay is over.

minutes

This parameter specifies the number of minutes to delay the execution. It accepts integer values ranging from 0 to 1439, with a default value of 0. Setting this parameter allows you to introduce longer delays in your workflow, up to nearly 24 hours.

seconds

This parameter specifies the number of seconds to delay the execution. It accepts floating-point values ranging from 0.0 to 59.99, with a default value of 0.0. This allows for fine-grained control over shorter delays, down to hundredths of a second.

Sleep Output Parameters:

input

The output parameter is the same as the input parameter. After the specified delay, the node passes the input data through unchanged. This ensures that the workflow can continue seamlessly with the original data after the delay period.

Sleep Usage Tips:

• Use the Sleep node to synchronize different parts of your workflow, especially when dealing with external resources or time-dependent operations.
• Combine minutes and seconds to achieve precise delays, ensuring that your workflow operates smoothly without unnecessary waiting.
• Test different delay durations to find the optimal timing for your specific use case, balancing efficiency and resource utilization.

Sleep Common Errors and Solutions:

Delay duration too long

• Explanation: Specifying a very long delay might cause your workflow to become unresponsive or inefficient.
• Solution: Ensure that the delay duration is appropriate for your use case. Avoid setting unnecessarily long delays that could hinder the performance of your workflow.

Invalid parameter values

• Explanation: Entering values outside the allowed range for minutes or seconds can cause errors.
• Solution: Double-check that the minutes parameter is between 0 and 1439 and the seconds parameter is between 0.0 and 59.99. Adjust the values accordingly to fit within these ranges.
