While we spend a lot of time staying up all night to play games, Pokemon Sleep is a game that tries to help us leave this bad habit and return to a normal sleep schedule.
Sleeping is the actual gameplay in Pokemon Sleep and the players know pretty well how important it is to have a long and high-quality sleep to increase the Snorlax level and receive better Pokemons overnight.
