Disable user input until thread.sleep is finished

So i am a beginner programmer. I am in my second year of learning how to program.

So I am wondering if there is a easy way to wait for the Thread.Sleep to finish in c# console application. Because when i have a thread.sleep and a console.readkey behind that. The console.ReadKey will execute.

Could someone please explain to me how to do this. And why this is happening if you feel like it.

Okay so this only happens when i used some other method.

if i were to do this

Thread.Sleep(); //sleep 100 seconds
        Console.Read();

nothing happend when i pressed a button.

however using a diffrent method

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IntervalMessage("this is a test");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
        public static void IntervalMessage(string message)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < message.Length; i++)
        {
            if (i == message.Length - 1)
            {
                Console.Write(message[i]);
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(120);
            }
            else
            {
                Console.Write(message[i]);
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(110);
            }
        }
        Console.ResetColor();
    }

it will be able to have take input while sleeping. Thanks for trying to help. figured it out myself.
