Aikau sleep wait method

Question

Hello

I would like to have a sleep method in my aikau widget

navigateTo : function com_widget__navigateTo(urlToGo){
console.log(this);
 setTimeout(function() {

this.myMethod();

console.log(this);
                                  },1000) ;

}

********************************************

but it's not working, I have an error that say "this.myMethod doesn't exist"

It's not working only when I call my method inside the setTimeout function ... so as you can see I put two console.log(this) to see the problem, and they are not related to the same "this" wich I don't understand

the object is "this" in the widget and the window is "this" inside the method

navigateTo : function com_widget__navigateTo(urlToGo){

var aikauThis = this;
       console.log(this);
       setTimeout(function() {
       aikauThis.alfServicePublish("ALF_NAVIGATE_TO_PAGE", {
             url: urlToGo
       });
 },3000) ;

}
