You would want to use the setTimeout function.

this function takes two arguments, the time in milliseconds, and a callback function.

To achieve a sleep type method I would suggest changing your for loop, to a function, and then use the setTimeout function to refer back to your function.

EX:

var i=0;
function foo() {`enter code here`
    i++;
    if(i<10) {
        itemDivs[a].style.display = 'none';
        a++;
        setTimeout(1000,foo); //Notice there are no parentheses after the function being passed into setTimeout.
    }
};
