How does Pokemon Sleep record your sleeping habits?
Pokemon Sleep works by recording your sleeping habits using your smartphone’s accelerometer. When placed on your mattress, the device records how much you move and uses your phone’s microphone to record audio.
Your movement and noises are then taken and broken up into sleep data when you awake. Your sleeping habits are broken up into three categories; slumbering, snoozing, and dozing. This information is then converted into a sleep score that increases Snorlax’s Drowsy Power.
The premise of the app is to record when you are in REM or deep sleep and when you are in other parts of sleep. Make sure you get a good night’s rest to collect the most sleep data and get a good sleep score.
