Answer 1

Use a ManualResetEvent, and instead of Thread.Sleep, wait for the event with a timeout.

Then, any other thread can activate the event, and immediately resume the sleeping thread.

Once a thread is exited, it can no longer run. So don't let it exit. Instead, put it back to sleep waiting for an event.
