Yes, sleep() and wait() methods are doing same work like prevent Thread Execution some amount of time in different ways.
where wait() is used only in Synchronization area this is called on object.wait(), it is overloaded method.if a thread object calls wait() then that thread will release the lock and wait for notification( notify(), notifyAll()) after getting notification thread will make Runnable.
where as sleep() is used any where it is static method. when sleep() called then thread will enter into sleep state particular amount of time if time expires thread will move into Runnable or Ready state.
In both cases Thread will Interrupted by interrupt().It will checked Exception we have take care of that with try n catch or throws.
