Tiny85 delays very late issue

I am developing an IO process which can switch on LED by Hall effect sensor and 
delay 500ms to turn off after I un-press it just like 555 monostable can do. I 
am using UNO R3, Arduino 1.0.5, Board is Tiny 8Mhz internal BOD off to program 
a tiny85. But issue occurs as below.

1. Where is a very huge delay at the 1st time around 16-20 seconds. Next click 
is around 8-10 secs. After few time to activate the process it becomes normal 
(500ms).
2. Then I leave it alone for a while (let say 30 secs), the 1st delay time is 
back to 16-20 secs.

I am just thinking if the sleep function is enable by default cause this false, 
or if it is just a stupid fault by myself. If so, can anyone help to solve this 
problem. Thank you very much.
