I need to be able to put a thread to sleep for some amount of

Sleeping for very short periods is usually a bad idea for 
various reasons. What do you need it for?

If you really need this, go for a loop with a high resolution 
timer.

Something along the lines of this:

while (render)
{
  immutable auto startTime = MonoTime.currTime;

  // Render the frame...

  immutable auto remain = m_frameDuration - (startTime - 
MonoTime.currTime);
  if (remain > Duration.zero)
    Thread.sleep(remain);
}
