Update 2020

You can await setTimeout with Node.js 15 or above:

const timersPromises = require('timers/promises');

(async () => {
  const result = await timersPromises.setTimeout(2000, 'resolved')
  // Executed after 2 seconds
  console.log(result); // "resolved"
})()

Timers Promises API: https://nodejs.org/api/timers.html#timers_timers_promises_api (library already built in Node)

Note: Stability: 1 - Use of the feature is not recommended in production environments.
