hi: 
it really a trouble thing for me to use boost::thread::sleep()
:
boost::xtime helloworldtime;
 boost::xtime_get(&helloworldtime, boost::TIME_UTC);
 helloworldtime.sec += 6;
 boost::thread::sleep(helloworldtime);

i think 
"boost::thread::sleep(1500) //millisecond   "
 may easy my programming;if have such interface;
now i use :

void thread_sleep(unsigned int interval) //millisecond
{
    boost::xtime xt; 
    boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); 
    int sec=interval/1000; 
    int msec=interval-1000*sec; 
    xt.nsec += 1000*1000*msec; 
    xt.sec+= sec; 
    boost::thread::sleep(xt);     
}

best wishes;-)
