 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 .Fn Nanosleep
-causes the process to sleep for the specified time.  An unmasked signal will
+causes the calling thread to sleep for the specified time
+(the actual time slept may be longer, due to system latencies
+and possible limitations in the timer resolution of the hardware).
+An unmasked signal will
 cause it to terminate the sleep early, regardless of the
 .Dv SA_RESTART
 value on the interrupting signal.
