The focus is sleeping Snorlax, who will record the player's sleeping patterns under Professor Neroli's observation. Neroli is a brand new NPC who is also a sleep researcher

The gameplay is performed while asleep as a sleep-recording session. Players must set the alarm in the app and keep their phones

Depending on the type of sleep players are categorized into, creatures that also have similar sleep styles to the player will appear on the island around Snorlax

Players may even come across unique sleep styles for some species. Some examples include the Sunbathing Sleep posture for Bulbasaur and Tummy-Rub for Charmander

Pokemon GO Plus+ has also been announced. It is a small, Pokeball-shaped device that makes Pikachu sounds in response to actions

The way it works in the latter is that instead of referring to the smartphone app to tweak, players only need to press the button on the Pokeball's face before going to sleep and after waking up

This way, the player's sleep will be automatically recorded, which can then be viewed in the smartphone app
