what is the max sleep duration allowed in expert?

I need an expert function to be executed every 10 seconds rather than waiting for function to be triggered by new incoming tick... using the sleep function and a loop what is the max duration expert can trigger function at 10 second intervals? Can expert run like this for 24 hours?

Thanks for any help!

Help out anyone who cares!
How can the Start( ) function be triggered by a certain period of time rather than a new coming tick?
Any questions from newcomers on MQL4 and MQL5, help and discussion on algorithms and codes

Script will do rather than EA. Script runs asynchronously unlike expert that has it's tick handler called by the terminal.
Sleep(10000) is not going to cause any problem.
