"For" is used with a duration of time (e.g., for an hour, for two days).
"Since" is used for a specific point in time (e.g., since morning, since 2 PM).
Here, "nearly an hour" is a duration, so "for" is the correct choice.
"Wait till tomorrow": is a shortened and informal version of "wait until tomorrow,"
"Wait till" means to wait up to a certain point in time — very natural and commonly used.
"For a while" indicates a duration of time (how long the action continued).
Example: "I have been ringing the doorbell for a while."
"For" + time period = Duration (e.g., for hours, for days).
"Since" + specific time = Start point (e.g., since morning).
He is waiting to meet you since morning.
