Anyone have this app? I'm genuinely curious about its mechanics of monitoring you as you sleep (through the phone's microphone??). As someone with disrupted and irregular sleep patterns I'd be drawn in if it had the extra functionality of spontaneously putting you to sleep such as a nice lullaby from Jigglypuff. For anyone that has used the app has it actually been effective in promoting a better sleep routine? www.pokemon.com/us/app/pokemon-sleep/

I too am curious. I don't have the app but it's such a curious idea for an app. Does it include naps? ;D If you constantly sleep the 'same type' that seems like it'd be frustrating for collectors haha. Can you imagine: gotta try and snore tonight to get this pokemon.

You can have up to two sleep sessions of a min of 2+ hrs a day. The app encourages 8+ hrs of sleep and rewards consistent bedtimes and wake up times.
Also, idk how well it tracks sleep patterns, but the one time i knocked it off my bed, it stopped counting my hours of sleep because it was too quiet.
In all honesty it's best real life benefit is waking you up. As after the alarm rings you're encouraged to do your daily busy work.

I really like it! It monitors your sleep into three categories, Dozing (light sleep), Snoozing (medium sleep), and Slumbering (deep sleep). I got the Pokemon Go Plus Plus peripheral for Pokemon Go, and prefer to use it for pokemon Sleep over my phone, as when the game first came out it made your phone really hot since it wasn't in sleep mode, it was actively on all night.
Overal, it's pretty cute. I like seeing pokemon on my phone when I wake up. It's very very slow-paced, as only your active party of 5 pokemon get XP, and they get XP per how long you slept with a max of 100 a night, where it takes about 300 XP actually to gain a level, and rarely do I get a full 100 points. I've heard it's reasonably accurate as a sleep tracker, and it tracks me and my fiancee's sleep as different so I trust it to some extent. The data is interesting but I guess the best thing it does is encourage you to get 8 hours and 30 minutes of sleep, allowing some time to actually fall asleep at night, so aim for a good 9-9:30 hours of actually trying to sleep. Some weeks I do bad, some days I do good, but it's a nice little bonus for sleeping consistently and on time to have some pokemon to look forward to in the morning.
