Pokémon Sleep (Japanese: Pokémon Sleep) is a sleep-tracking spin-off Pokémon game for iOS and Android. It is developed by SELECT BUTTON inc., and is free to download with in-app purchases. It uses the player's smart device or Pokémon GO Plus + peripheral to track and record their sleep data, which affects gameplay. The game features Snorlax as the central Pokémon, with other Pokémon appearing around Snorlax based on the player's sleeping pattern.

Rest Your Very Best!

Just place your smart device by your pillow (don’t place your device under your pillow or blankets as it may overheat) to track your daily sleep! With features to record your snoring and sleep talking, and a smart alarm that will wake you when your sleep is light, you’ll be able to aim for your very best rest with Pokémon Sleep!

Four Functions to Help You Try to Rest Your Very Best

1. See Your Sleep Score and Sleep Type
   You can get a sense of what your sleep was like by checking your sleep score, which is based on how long you slept. And how about your sleep type? You may be deemed to be “dozing,” “snoozing,” or “slumbering” type for the night, based on how much you moved in your sleep.
2. Check Out Your Sleep Trends
   You can look back in detail on how regular your sleep has been on a week-by-week basis. You may discover new insights into your sleep as you check your past trends, such as what time you tend to hit the hay on different days of the week.
3. Let Soothing Sounds Support Your Sleep
   With features like Pokémon-inspired music to relax you into sleep, plus smart alarms that wake you when you’re in a shallow stage of sleep, Pokémon Sleep may help you to rest your very best.
4. Review Audio Recorded When You Sleep
   Various noises detected during your sleep tracking will be automatically recorded. You can play these recordings back and hear your snores and sleep talk or environmental noises, such as from traffic or wind.

What A Day Looks Like in Pokémon Sleep

• When Night Falls...
  It’s time to track your sleep! All you need to do is place your smart device by your pillow, then call it a night.
• A New Day Dawns
  By the time you wake, Pokémon will have gathered in Pokémon Sleep based on your sleep type and how long you slept. Carry out research on these Pokémon’s sleep styles to complete your Sleep Style Dex!
• And the Rest of the Day...
  Raise Snorlax big and strong! Snorlax will grow larger by receiving Berries from the Pokémon you befriend. The more you raise Snorlax, the greater your odds will be of encountering Pokémon with rare sleep styles!

Gameplay

In Pokémon Sleep, the player is tasked with raising a Snorlax and researching various Pokémon sleep styles by regularly tracking the player's sleep. The player is assisted by Professor Neroli throughout the game. The gameplay loop of Pokémon Sleep can be divided into three parts: night (6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), morning (6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.), and afternoon (12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.).^[1]

During the night, the game keeps track of the player's sleep using their smart device or Pokémon GO Plus + peripheral. In order for the game to do so, the player must place their smart device or Pokémon GO Plus + on their bed, preferably beside their pillow. Either device must not be placed on hard surfaces such as the bedframe or the floor, since this prevents the game from tracking the player's movements. If using a smart device, it should be kept plugged-in with the game opened and the screen turned on, and placed face-side down on the bed.^[2] It is highly advised to not place the smart device under the pillow or any blankets, as this may cause the device to overheat.

When the player wakes up in the morning, the game will grade the player's sleep and give a score based on the sleep's duration and consistency, and will categorize the sleep into the following types: Dozing, Snoozing, Slumbering, or Balanced.^[3] Pokémon will appear around the player's Snorlax, corresponding to the sleep type of the day. Researching these Pokémon will allow the player to fill out and complete their Sleep Style Dex. The Pokémon can also be recruited as helpers by offering them biscuits. These helper Pokémon will gather items such as Berries and cooking ingredients, and can be leveled up and evolved.^[4]

Raising Snorlax

The player raises the Snorlax by feeding it Berries and cooking it meals. The player may give the Snorlax 3 meals each day: once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once at night. Feeding Snorlax increases its "Strength", which is multiplied by the player's sleep score to form its "Drowsy Power". As Snorlax's Drowsy Power increases, the number of Pokémon that will gather around it in the morning will also increase, as well as chances to find rare Pokémon sleep styles.^[1][4]

Once Snorlax gains enough Strength, its rating will go up. The player receives Dream Shards as a reward each time Snorlax's rating increases, and more Pokémon species have a chance to come sleep with Snorlax.

Features

Sleep Style Dex

There are 104 different species of Pokémon that can be encountered in Pokémon Sleep, most of which have 3 or 4 different sleep styles. Only one Pokémon has 10 different sleep styles. Pokémon that come to sleep with Snorlax, as well as the Snorlax being raised, have a chance of being Shiny.

Sleep Style Dex Goals

Professor Neroli gives players Sleep Style Dex goals to encourage them to study a variety of different sleep styles. Each time the player meets a Sleep Style Dex goal by registering a certain number of sleep styles in their Sleep Style Dex, they can receive a variety of rewards, including Diamonds and access to new features. A button on the main screen tracks the player's progress towards their next Sleep Style Dex goal, and once it has been met, the player can tap this button to claim their Dex goal rewards.

The following table gives the list of Sleep Style Dex goals and the rewards associated with each.

Development

Pokémon Sleep was announced at the Pokémon 2019 Press Conference on May 29, 2019. When it was announced, it was stated that it would release in 2020; however, this did not occur, and no further information about the software was announced until 2023. Despite the lack of official information, the official Japanese Pokémon website added an SSL certificate to their site for a Pokémon Sleep sub-website in April 2021,^[6] and in January 2022, unused data for features relating to Pokémon Sleep and the Pokémon GO Plus + was found in the internal files of Pokémon GO. More information about Pokémon Sleep was eventually revealed in Pokémon Presents on February 27, 2023, in which it was announced to be releasing in Summer 2023.^[7]

An open beta for Pokémon Sleep was launched for Android users in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, running from July 9 to July 13, 2023.^[8][9] The open beta was expanded to include Android users in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.^[10]

By commenting good night messages in the live chat, the Snorlax in the livestream will have its Drowsy Power increase, and special occurences would happen.^[11]

The livestream features background music by Hitomi Satō^[12] and sound design by Kazuki Kitamura.^[13] The background music features an arrangement of Jigglypuff's song as seen in the anime.
