Hmmm, I'm looking at section 9.9.5 Delaying Execution in the PostgreSQL
8.2.0 Documentation.  Following the example presented there, I fired up
psql and ran the following:

postgres=# select current_timestamp; select pg_sleep(3); select
current_timestamp;
             now
----------------------------
  2007-10-09 23:50:32.649-04
(1 row)

  pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

             now
----------------------------
  2007-10-09 23:50:35.774-04
(1 row)

Seems to be working.  What version are you using and on what platform?
