The while read loop ends when there is nothing left to read. When it ended, the code after the done is run, i.e. it continues with the sleep command.
The outer while true loop never ends, because the condition is always true. If there were code after the outer done it would never run.

You have two while loops : one - the inner - that ends when all files printed by find are processed, and the other - outer - that never ends as its condition never will be false.
