New Pokémon Mobile Game Monitors Sleep and Collects Data
- Pokémon Sleep is an upcoming mobile game that tracks players’ sleep and quality of rest.
- Instead of capturing Pokémon, players collect different sleep types to fill out a Sleep Type Dex.
- The game pairs players with a Snorlax each week to conduct sleep research with a Professor Neroli.
- The quality and duration of a player’s sleep, as well as caring for Snorlax, determines their "sleep score" and unlocks new Pokémon with different "Sleep Styles."
- Pokémon Sleep records audio of players sleeping to analyze their rest, raising privacy concerns.
