Channel with an additional thread for sleep? Waiting for a channel is not a poll.

You either wait on the channel or wait on a read. How do you manage both?

You wait on a shared channel so both read and sleep threads queue a message when ready (whichever comes first). Not sure about channels, but in other languages it would be a concurrent queue.

This won't cancel the read, it'll just ignore the result
