Sourcing sh script skips sleep calls?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to source a .sh script like so:

source /root/udisk/payloads/$SWITCH_POSITION/hi.sh

And it seems to run the script, but then suddenly seems to push it to the background, as if I used '&' at the end...Or it just stops the script part way through.
At least, that's what I thought until I saw it doing the end of the script...

So if I put something like this in the hi.sh file:

LED R
sleep 1
LED M
sleep 1
LED B
sleep 1
LED C
sleep 1
LED G
sleep 1
LED Y
sleep 1
LED W

and then call it like so:

source /root/udisk/payloads/$SWITCH_POSITION/hi.sh
LED R 100

It will only show the white LED (the very last one in the script) and then start flashing red.

It seems to be skipping the sleep functions, zooming through the script...Any ideas on why this is?

Could just be me not calling the sleep function correctly...
