If you’ve immersed yourself in to the world of Pokémon you’ll be excited to find out that you can add another level to your obsession thanks to the debut of the Pokémon Sleep app on the Play Store. Ostensibly aiming to help you get a better sleep routine, the Pokémon Sleep app will track your sleeping habits via your smartphone and use Pokémon to show how you slept and let your research them to achieve a ‘Sleep Style Dex’.

All you need to do is to download the Pokémon Sleep app to your smartphone (or buy a Pokémon Go Plus+ companion device) and place said device next to your pillow (not under) so it can track your sleep.

The Pokémon Sleep app has the following features:

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. 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.

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.

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!

                  Forgive my doubts but if you’re telling the truth, I’m surprised you haven’t let the world know you’re a bit of a nerd (not an insult) because it’s extremely endearing lol

                  Android mod, short story writer…what drives a famous and successful A-List celebrity to be so prolific on Lemmy? Reddit had some celeb posters but not like you who is very involved on the platform

      I love how every time I open it there’s a new update that forces me out of the app to the store, only to then reopen the app and have to download a few mb in the app too

    submission statement:

    Pokémon Sleep is a new app that uses Pokémon to track your sleep and help you get a better night’s rest.

    The app works by tracking your sleep patterns using your smartphone’s accelerometer and gyroscope. It then assigns you a sleep score and sleep type.

    You can also review audio recordings of your sleep to see if there are any patterns or environmental noises that may be affecting your sleep.

    In addition to tracking your sleep, Pokémon Sleep also lets you collect Pokémon based on your sleep habits.

    The more you sleep, the more Pokémon you will collect. You can also use these Pokémon to battle other trainers in the app.

    I want to try it, but unfortunately it’s not compatible with my phone, a OnePlus 10 Pro. Hoping they add compatibility at some point
