why won't this combo animate: sleep-for n and next-line

Question

Why can't I see this "animation"? I only see the end result. This function is invoked via a keyboard shortcut on a elfeed-search buffer.

(defun my/elfeed-extra-info-2 ()
  (interactive)
  (next-line)
  (sleep-for 0.5)
  (next-line)
  (sleep-for 0.5)
  (next-line)
)

Try swapping sleep-for with sit-for

Like they do it at dantorop.info/project/emacs-animation/lisp2.html
