----------------
This module demonstrates the use of asyncio to handle asynchronous and blocking
functions in Python. The module contains three functions: a blocking function
that simulates a long-running process with `time.sleep`, an asynchronous
function that demonstrates asyncio's sleep, and a main function that runs
both the blocking and async functions concurrently using a ThreadPoolExecutor 
for the blocking function.
