In-Game Good Sleep Day Event Coming Soon
The Good Sleep Day event will be held in-game from Wednesday, August 30, until Friday, September 1, 2023[1]. During this time, Drowsy Power will be multiplied by 1.5 during the event, except on the day of the full moon (Thursday, August 31), when Drowsy Power will be multiplied by two. Users may be able to draw in more Pokémon or see rarer sleep styles the greater this Drowsy Power grows. A Good Sleep Day event will be held once a month for a total of three days: on the day of the full moon and the days before and after it.
To play Pokémon Sleep, players place their smartphone or Pokémon GO Plus + device by their pillow and go to sleep[2]. When they wake up, they can check the results of the sleep tracking, study the sleep styles of the Pokémon that have appeared, and work together with Pokémon sleep researcher Professor Neroli to record them in the Sleep Style Dex.
