Before this function is called, the sensor is placed into measurement
mode. The delay is there to account for the "wake-up" time from standby
to measurement mode. So sleep first then attempt to read. In the first
version I was not yet aware of it until I look around in the datasheet
trying to justify how long to delay. I will clarify the comment to make
it more clear.
