Does sleep() system call cause the scheduler to be rerun?

[Srini Amble <samble@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does sleep() system call cause the process to be put on the wait queue? 
I am hoping sleep() does not cause a spin lock. My objective being to 
force the process to give up the CPU for some duration of time. I 
appreciate any helpful response to resolve this question in my mind.

Thanks in advance

Srini
