While your loop is running (and sleeping) it will not process any button presses, so your Toggle function will not be called.

The only ways to create a loop that will give time for button presses to be handled are by using setTimeout or setInterval.

I had to add check if the loop should stop otherwise it was still looping after button was pressed.

Sorry, missed to update the timer variable in the loop function
