Comment (by Roger Karis <rkaris@…>):

 My platform indeed defines CLOCK_MONOTONIC and adding the snippet solves
 the issue. I'm wondering though whether both sleep_for and sleep_until
 should always employ the monotonic clock, when available. It would seem
 logical at first glance, yet maybe there are use-cases where different
 clock behavior is desired?
