+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### 1. How to sleep a thread in Python?
+
+To sleep a thread in Python, use the [`time.sleep()`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/python/time-module/sleep) function. Import the [`time`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/python/time-module) module and call `time.sleep(seconds)` where `seconds` is the number of seconds to pause the thread. This is useful for adding delays, simulating wait times, or creating periodic tasks in Python's threading.
+
+### 2. Is Pandas single-threaded?
+
+[Pandas](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/pandas) is primarily single-threaded by default. However, some functions (like [`read_csv()`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/pandas/built-in-functions/read-csv) with `engine='pyarrow'`) can use multi-threading or multi-processing for performance.
+
+### 3. Is Node.js single-threaded?
+
+[Node.js](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-is-nodejs/) operates on a single-threaded event loop model but handles concurrent operations through asynchronous callbacks. For true parallelism in Node.js, you can use the Worker Threads API or the cluster module.
