Description
Hi thank you for watching this issue.
I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but when I run below code, it takes 2 seconds to finish.

use std::time::{Duration, Instant};

#[tokio::main(flavor = "multi_thread", worker_threads = 4)]
async fn main() {
    let start = Instant::now();

    tokio::spawn(async {
        let handle = tokio::spawn(async {
            std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
            println!("task 1 finished")
        });

        std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));

        handle.await.unwrap();
    })
    .await
    .unwrap();

    let duration = start.elapsed();
    println!("Time elapsed is: {:?}", duration);
}

On the other hand, when I try this code, it takes 1 second. I just removed outer spawn.

use std::time::{Duration, Instant};

#[tokio::main(flavor = "multi_thread", worker_threads = 4)]
async fn main() {
    let start = Instant::now();

    let handle = tokio::spawn(async {
        std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
        println!("task 1 finished")
    });

    std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));

    handle.await.unwrap();

    let duration = start.elapsed();
    println!("Time elapsed is: {:?}", duration);
}

I expected to see the first code is finished around 1 second because std::thread::sleep hangs only current thread.
doc says

Puts the current thread to sleep for at least the specified amount of time.

Sorry if I misunderstand anything but if it's bug I thought I should create an issue to heads up.

Hi. This issue might be duplicated to #6491.

[Darksonn]

See also #6315.

Thank you both!
