Gamified Sleep-Tracking Applications

Nintendo's Pokemon Sleep Encourages Healthy Sleep Patterns

— July 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
Pokémon Sleep is a smartphone app that turns your sleep into entertainment by tracking your sleep patterns and rewarding you with Pokémon. The app works with a device called the Pokémon GO Plus +, which you can place by your pillow to measure your sleep data. The app features an island where you can interact with Snorlax and other Pokémon that have similar sleep styles as you. You can also discover rare sleep styles and complete your sleep style dex, effectively catching all creatures in the game.

Pokémon Sleep is planned to launch worldwide, excluding certain regions, in summer 2023, on Google Play. The Pokémon GO Plus + releases on July 14, 2023. The app will be available for iOS and Android devices, and it will be free to download. The Pokémon GO Plus+ is available for $79.99 CAD or $54.99 USD. Interested consumers can find out more information on Pokemon Sleep on Nintendo's official website.
