Topic: sleep() and Tk

I'm not a regular Tk user, i do use a script to display a subset of FHIR resources (which is occasionally updated by third party systems) using a ttk.TreeView. Structure is akin to the following pseudocode:
ws = Tk()
While True:
window.delete current rows
use FHIR to get hold of new list of resource data, multiple rows
window.insert new rows
ws.update()
sleep(30)
..which works fine. On windows (not on Linux) the window quite often states (Not responding) in its title, which is probably caused by sleep(30) (?!). Polling every 30 secs makes sense in this context. Is this behavior caused by sleep() and if so, how to circumvent the issue ?

I found a hint to use ws.after..

.. which somehow didn't work for me. looping "sleep(1) ws.update()" works fine however
