The Pokémon Company finally revealed new details about their upcoming mobile app, “Pokémon Sleep,” a concept where you mix gaming and sleeping. “Pokémon Sleep” was first announced in 2019 during a live stream and now, details plus a new trailer for the app give us new info and what to expect when it launches this summer for Android and iOS devices.

Turn your sleep into entertainment with “Pokémon Sleep!” Playing this game is simple: just place your smartphone by your pillow, then go to sleep. Just like that, waking up in the morning becomes something to look forward to! Your adventure takes place on a small island where you’ll carry out research on how “Pokémon Sleep”. You’ll work with a large Snorlax who lives on the island and Neroli, a professor who’s studying “Pokémon Sleep” styles.
Rest Your Very Best!
Place your smartphone by your pillow when you go to bed to record and measure your sleep. The longer you sleep, the higher your score in the morning, and the more Pokémon you’ll see appear around Snorlax. Your nights of sleep will be classified as one of three sleep styles—dozing, snoozing, or slumbering—and in the morning, Pokémon that sleep in similar ways will come to gather around Snorlax. You may even discover a Pokémon Sleeping in a rare style you’d hardly ever get to see normally. Each Pokémon has a number of different sleep styles, so see how many you can discover to complete your sleep style dex.

Pokémon GO Plus +
Researching “Pokémon Sleep” styles is even easier when you use Pokémon GO Plus +, which allows you to keep track of your sleep with the press of a button. Pokémon GO Plus + uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to link with “Pokémon Sleep”. When it’s time for bed, just hold the device’s central button, place it by your pillow, and then go to sleep. Not only will Pokémon GO Plus + help measure your sleep data, but Pikachu’s familiar voice can give you cute prompts when it’s time to wake up or go to sleep.

“Pokémon Sleep” is planned to launch worldwide, excluding certain regions, in the summer of 2023, and Pokémon GO Plus + release on July 14, 2023. Keep checking Pokemon.com for more details on “Pokémon Sleep”!
