Dont you actually have something like this?:
from time import *
# somewhere you use sleep like this
sleep=10
# and then
sleep(1)
# you get:
# sleep(1)
#TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
In this case you "overwrite" the original function sleep() with your/my
variable sleep....
Solution: rename your/my variable sleep to f.e. notAwake=10 :-)
