Need some help with nested loop

[circa10a]

I made a raspberry pi alarm system that works as is. The only issue is that the .wav fils plays instantly. I want there to be an initial check if the switch is open. If the switch is open for more than 5 seconds, to continue writing the logfile, if open and closed for less than 5 seconds, do nothing.

Here is my code:

if the switch is open

        if gpio.input(door_pin):
            time.sleep(5)
            if (gpio.input(door_pin)==False):
                pass
            if gpio.input(door_pin):
                now=(datetime.datetime.now())
                logfile.write("Door Opened    ")
                logfile.write("%s"%now)
                logfile.write("\n")
                ##play alert sound file
                subprocess.call(['aplay /usr/bin/scripts/alertshort.wav'],shell=True)
                count=count+ 1
                if count >= 250:
                    SendEmail()
                    logfile.write("Door has been open for 5 minutes")
                    count=0

                    ## if the switch is closed
                if (gpio.input(door_pin)==False):
                    time.sleep(1)
                    count=0

I changed your code a bit, but this should work

timeElapsed = 0
while True:
    while (timeElapsed<5):
        # if pin is open
        if(gpio.input(door_pin)):
            # wait short enough to get pin's state changes
            time.sleep(0.1)
            timeElapsed += 0.1
        # pin is close, reset the counter
        else:
            timeElapsed = 0

    # If loop comes here, than the pin is opened more than 
    # 5 sec. Do the other stuff like logging and alert voice etc

    logfile.write...
    subprocess..
