Unlock Your Best Sleep Score with These 7 Pokemon Sleep Hacks

Highlights

The Sleep Score is derived from the actual sleep duration of players, which in turn determines the quantity of Pokemon available for exploration and the rarity of the encountered Pokemon.

To enhance sleep quality and boost Sleep Score in the game, it is beneficial to uphold a consistent sleep schedule, avoid napping, keep devices away from the bed, and utilize earphones or earplugs.

Pokemon Sleep, as indicated by its name, revolves around monitoring players' sleep patterns and doubles as a sleep tracker. It offers the opportunity for players to collect and interact with Pokemon in various ways. The game calculates the actual duration of players' sleep and assigns a Sleep Score accordingly. This Sleep Score, in conjunction with Snorlax Strength, determines the number of Pokemon players can explore during the next session, referred to as Drowsy Power. A higher Sleep Score increases the chances of encountering rare Pokemon and acquiring dream shards. Furthermore, the Sleep Score is converted into Sleep Points, which can be exchanged for valuable in-game items, optimizing gameplay efficiency.

The maximum Sleep Score that players can achieve is 100, which is based on a total sleep time of 8 hours and 30 minutes. However, consistently achieving such lengthy periods of sleep can be challenging for many players, especially when considering various external factors. Fortunately, the type of sleep does not affect the score. Nonetheless, there are several tips that players can adopt to maximize their score.

7 Keep Up The Sleeping Time Consistency

Ensuring a sufficient amount of sleep is crucial for players, and one way to achieve this is by maintaining a consistent bedtime. This is particularly important as the game also offers rewards based on this routine. Consequently, players can determine their bedtime by considering the time they need to wake up in order to obtain an optimal eight hours of sleep, if feasible.

6 Have A Nap

In order to maximize their score, players can establish a specific bedtime for their sleep routine and commence the process of going to bed 30 minutes before it. By doing so, the duration of their sleep can be calculated earlier. As long as their sleep remains uninterrupted and unaffected by delays, players will be able to consistently achieve a higher score.

For individuals who cannot sleep continuously for more than eight hours, taking naps whenever feasible can serve as an alternative solution. This is because players have the ability to record multiple sleep sessions throughout the day. However, it is crucial to mention that these naps cannot be short power naps, as the game necessitates a minimum of 90 minutes of tracked sleep time for it to be recognized.

When players sleep in multiple sessions, the Drowsy power is calculated separately, allowing players to encounter new Pokemon. However, it is important to note that the Free Biscuits must be used in the first session as they will not be received for the second cycle. Additionally, if players sleep for over 8 hours and 30 minutes, the rest of the score will not be counted.

5 Put The Device On The Mattress

Pokemon Sleep utilizes sound and movement to monitor players' sleep patterns. However, excessive or minimal movement during sleep might result in untracked time. To improve accuracy, it is advised to place the device on the mattress rather than on a hard surface like the floor or nightstand. Additionally, keeping the device relatively close and ensuring it is not obstructed by blankets or pillows helps reduce potential discrepancies.

4 Pay Attention To The Untracked Time

Sometimes, players who have gone to bed on time and woken up at their desired hour may find that their recorded sleep time is significantly lower. Although sleep sounds and movements are both tracked, the sleep score is solely determined by the accelerometer, which measures movement. The audio recording serves not only to allow players to listen back to their sleep patterns but also to determine their sleep style.

If players notice a substantial amount of unaccounted time, they may want to listen to the recording to investigate the cause. In particular, if players share their bed with others or pets, excessive movement may occur, potentially explaining the discrepancy. By doing so, players may discover potential solutions to minimize this issue.

3 Use Earphones or Earplugs

If players find themselves in a noisy sleeping environment or need to go to bed earlier than others in their household, it can hinder their ability to fall asleep efficiently and adversely affect their sleep score. One possible solution to improve overall sleep quality is to utilize earphones for listening to calming music or using earplugs to minimize distracting noises. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of sleep-tracking devices by solely capturing sleep-related sounds, but also enables players to achieve a more restful sleep.

2 Use Pokemon Go Plus If Available

Rather than spending extra money on a Pokemon Go Plus just for sleep tracking purposes, especially if you don't actively play Pokemon Go, using the device you already have might be a better option. Many players prefer not to have their phone right next to them while sleeping, especially since it needs to be charged for sleep recording.

On the contrary, the Pokemon Go Plus device offers a significantly longer battery life on a single charge compared to a phone, as it serves much fewer functions and is not affected by numerous external factors that drain the phone's battery. Moreover, individuals who have a tendency to frequently check their phones can derive additional benefits from using this device, as they can avoid the need to lift their phone each time they want to check it, especially when trying to sleep.

1 Manually Record Time

Although manually tracking time may not yield the same results, players may still want to consider doing so, particularly if they had periods of untracked time while asleep. It is important to mention, however, that by doing this, players will forfeit the ability to conduct sleep research. Nevertheless, they will still receive certain minor rewards. Premium pass members, on the other hand, enjoy even greater benefits, as they will have the option to convert their sleep score into points. This will enable them to purchase items even if they are unable to encounter new Pokémon during the sleep cycle.

Pokemon Sleep is available on mobile devices in most regions.
