+# Sleep Workflow Sample
+
+This sample workflow demonstrates how to use the `workflow.Sleep` function in Cadence workflows. The sleep functionality allows workflows to pause execution for a specified duration before continuing with subsequent activities.
+
+## Sample Description
+
+The sample workflow:
+- Takes a sleep duration as input parameter
+- Uses `workflow.Sleep` to pause workflow execution for the specified duration
+- Executes a main activity after the sleep period completes
+- Demonstrates proper error handling for sleep operations
+- Shows how to configure activity options for post-sleep activities
+
+The workflow is useful for scenarios where you need to:
+- Implement delays or timeouts in workflow logic
+- Wait for external events or conditions
+- Implement retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
+- Create scheduled or periodic workflows
+
+## Key Components
+
+- **Workflow**: `sleepWorkflow` demonstrates the sleep functionality with activity execution
+- **Activity**: `mainSleepActivity` is executed after the sleep period
+- **Sleep Duration**: Configurable duration (default: 30 seconds) passed as workflow input
+- **Test**: Includes unit tests to verify sleep and activity execution
+
+## Steps to Run Sample
+
+1. You need a cadence service running. See details in cmd/samples/README.md
+
+2. Run the following command to start the worker:
+   ```
+   ./bin/sleep -m worker
+   ```
+
+3. Run the following command to execute the workflow:
+   ```
+   ./bin/sleep -m trigger
+   ```
+
+You should see logs showing:
+- Workflow start with sleep duration
+- Sleep completion message
+- Main activity execution
+- Workflow completion
+
+## Customization
+
+To modify the sleep behavior:
+- Change the `sleepDuration` in `main.go` to adjust the default sleep time
+- Modify the activity options to configure timeouts for post-sleep activities
+- Add additional activities or logic after the sleep period
+- Implement conditional sleep based on workflow state
+
+## Use Cases
+
+This pattern is useful for:
+- **Scheduled Tasks**: Implement workflows that need to wait before processing
+- **Rate Limiting**: Add delays between API calls or external service interactions
+- **Retry Logic**: Implement exponential backoff for failed operations
+- **Event-Driven Workflows**: Wait for specific time periods before checking conditions
+- **Batch Processing**: Add delays between batch operations to avoid overwhelming systems
