usleep() takes an argument in microseconds (millionths of a second), so
you should try a value of 5000000.

But aside from that, embedding sleep commands in request routes is a
very bad idea, since it ties up that worker thread during the time it
sleeps and prevents it from processing other SIP messages. :-)
