Description
Currently, the monotonic-clock interface includes functions for reading the current time and functions for sleeping for a given duration. In theory, some users may want to just have the ability to sleep without reading the current time, so it's worth considering splitting these into separate interfaces.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the monotonic-clock interface definition and reviewing how its time-reading and sleeping functions are used. Done would require an agreed design for whether and how those capabilities should be separated.
