Pokemon Sleep faced immediate criticism upon its launch, with concerns about its safety and access to the phone's microphone. However, despite these flaws, the game has surpassed 10 million downloads on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, suggesting that it is widely appreciated and desired by users. In response to feedback, the developers have released version 1.0.6, introducing numerous enhancements. Shortly after this update, an in-game announcement revealed the date for the highly anticipated inaugural major event for Pokemon Sleep.
Good Sleep Day Event Start Time
It has been confirmed that the Good Sleep Day event is scheduled to commence at 4:00 a.m. on August 30, 2023. Prior speculation from numerous players suggested a similar start date for the event. The official announcement specifies that the event will occur once each month, spanning three consecutive days. Specifically, this span will encompass the day of the full moon as well as the days preceding and following it. The comprehensive schedule is as follows:
Day 1: Wednesday, August 30, at 4:00 a.m. to Thursday, August 31, at 3:59 a.m.
Day 2 (full moon night): Thursday, August 31, at 4:00 a.m. to Friday, September 1, at 3:59 a.m.
Day 3: Friday, September 1, at 4:00 a.m. to Saturday, September 2, at 3:59 a.m.
Bonuses
During the full moon, Snorlax experiences a boost in its Drowsy Power, increasing it by x2. This heightened state lasts for the night of the full moon itself. For the following two days, Snorlax's Drowsy Power remains improved but at a slightly lower level, x1.5. This amplification not only affects Snorlax's powers but also enhances the experience points gained during this phase.
Things To Keep In Mind
Boost your Pokemon Sleep EXP by x3 during the enchanting full moon night! Don't worry if you miss out, as you'll still enjoy a x2 EXP boost for the duration of the event. But that's not all! On the night of the full moon, you'll receive a whopping 1000 Bonus Sleep Points, and an additional 500 for the rest of the event. Sleep tight and level up your Pokemon like never before!
To fully benefit from the Good Sleep Day Event, players should comprehend the additional information provided in the in-game announcement. Bonus sleep points will solely be granted for the first sleep session of the day, excluding players who have not completed the tutorial.
It is worth noting that the event's effects are not restricted to a particular island, granting players the freedom to select any of the four sites for research. However, it is crucial to bear in mind that each day of the Good Sleep Day event concludes at 4:00 a.m.
Pokemon Sleep is available for Android and iOS.
