Sleep function in c in windows. Does a function with better precision exist?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a better sleep function that could be used in windows in c, other than Sleep(), which takes a millisecond input and only guarantees that the input is the minimum amount of time that elapses. I am passing in 1 millisecond, but actually getting a 15-16 millisecond delay. Is there any way to accurately set ...

Background info: I have a function that when called creates select list inside a form and populates it. After that the script runs through the options in the list and looks for a certain value.
