Writing a delay in PL/SQL?

I know this is going to sound rather crazy, but I want to write an INSERT trigger that imposes an arbitrary delay, say a half second, or maybe a full second, on each and every insert operation. Does anyone know offhand whether there's a built-in PL/SQL procedure to just wait for a specified period of time? Any suggestions on how I can go about implementing this trigger?

Best regards,
