The current proposal n2497 contains two overloadings
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2497.html
    void boost::this_thread::sleep(const system_time& abs_t);
    template <class Duration>
        void boost::this_thread::sleep(const Duration& rel_t);

Boost.Thread contains only the 
    template <class Duration>
        void boost::this_thread::sleep(const Duration& rel_t);

Could you add the other?

Thanks,
