Repeating setTimeout

Question

I am trying to repeat setTimeout every 10 seconds. I know that setTimeout by default only waits and then performs an action one time. How can I repeat the process?

setTimeout(function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    console.log("10 seconds");
  }, 10000);
}, 10000);

const myFunction = () => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date();
            myFunction();
        }, 10000);
    }

Easiest, but not efficient way!
