Thread.sleep halts you execution for that particular time period. That why it is not recommended to use Thread.sleep in your execution script. Where as Implicit/Explicit wait deals with particular webelement. If script finds the required web element is present in the page, script moves on. If it does not find the mentioned web element, if finds that element in the web page for that particular wait period.
