I don't understand the reason behind the part with "|| true"
This should do:
SLEEPCMD="type sleep && sleep ${SLEEPTIME}"

Yes, but is a lot uncleaner than testing for the existance of the
cammand, then running it if it does exist.
The only thing that I don't like about the solution with:
type command && command
is that it will generate noise on the console, that's why I prefer:
[ ! -z "\`type command\`" ] && command
