text: Title: [GOOD FIRST ISSUE]: Encapsulate sleep timers
  Body: ### Issue summary
  
  Encapsulate sleep timers
  
  ### Detailed description
  
  slightly better code would be to not have so many literals floating around. I propose to encapsulate the sleep timers in a medium or short sleep function in the utils. This will make editing these in the future more simple
  
  ### Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
  
  _No response_
  
  ### Expected outcome
  
  encapsulated sleep timers
  
  ### Additional context
  
  _No response_
