How can I find out how much time was left to sleep after thread was interrupted?

I have a thread, on which i am calling sleep() for a specific amount of time. If the thread is interrupted, I need a way to know how much time was left. Is there a built-in way to do this?

P.S. I have a strong suspicion that this may be an XY problem. (i.e. I'm thinking about this completely wrong)

When starting the sleep, determine the end of sleep first. If the sleep is interrupted and should be resumed, sleep for originalEndTime - now ms.

It's so not clear what exactly you're trying to do though tasks, you're probably right about the XY.
