A random sleep lends itself easily to a uniform distribution. The latter approach that you describe would result in a geometric distribution.
I'm looking for a random, but controlled delay between executions. Let's say I execute the script now, then in 5~10 min I'll execute again, this time can be 5, 6, ... 10 minutes, this script pretends to do 'human actions' so I can't be doing these 'actions' with a specific and rigid times. The delay between the executions can't be the same always.
