Another option would be to (ab)use ping (if you want to avoid an additional script):

Sub Sleep(seconds)
  CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "%COMSPEC% /c ping 127.0.0.1 -n " _
    & seconds+1, 0, True
End Sub

ping sends echo requests in (roughly) 1 second intervals, so you can get an n-second delay by sending n+1 echo requests.
