I've notice that while using Sleep it can sometimes prevent the line of code before it from running Which breaks the script.

So If I issue a command in my code. Then have it sleep right after on the next line. Since Sleep stops the script from running while it sleeps. The command may not have finished doing what its suppose to do before the script goes to sleep. Which then breaks things.

What other options can I use to have my script wait without going to sleep? Thanks!

Try a timer or a thread. I gave an example at https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5747424#5747424

What thing are you waiting for anyhow? A memoryscan? Some event in the target ?
