There are several ways you could attack it, depending on how you intend to indicate the paused or sleep period. I might create a system event and an event driven job for that event. Then, schedule a simple program that executes every half hour or so and does a few things: checks to make sure there's not an active instance of the job to be triggered, checks the current time against the 'pause' interval, then raises the system event to trigger the necessary job or just ends with no action (if in the pause interval).
