sending a message in a loop only once discord.py

as the title suggests i'm trying to send a message (only once) inside a while loop. This is the code so far:
while hour >= 11 and hour < 12:
msg = await bot.wait_for_message(timeout=1, author=message.author)
if msg:
pass
hour = int(time.strftime("%H"))
minute = int(time.strftime("%M"))
if hour == 11 and minute == 22:
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "<@258621320898543616> you have 5 min of break left. Finish up whatever your doing quickly tatsu san!")
the code now send the message multiple times when its 11:22. I tried putting the if statement outside the loop, but it didn't send a message at all. I also tried putting asyncio.sleep(60) in the if statement but that didn't work either. Not sure how to get around this. Help please?

Have you tried using time.sleep() instead of asyncio.sleep()? But that will stop the entire while loop's execution for the sleep duration.

I did it just then. Thought it worked for a second but then it just stops the whole program from running. In other words, it shuts the bot down after the specified time i entered in the time.sleep() is up

after researching a bit I found out a way to do this. I created a variable called "seconds" which stored (obviously) seconds. This is my new code:
while hour >= 11 and hour < 12:
msg = await bot.wait_for_message(timeout=1, author=message.author)
if msg:
pass
hour = int(time.strftime("%H"))
minute = int(time.strftime("%M"))
seconds = int(time.strftime("%S"))
if hour == 11 and minute == 22 and seconds == 0:
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "<@258621320898543616> you have 5 min of break left. Finish up whatever your doing quickly tatsu san!")
this did the trick. The statement only gets sent once as well
