Pokémon Sleep players with access to the game’s £50 Pokémon Go Plus+ peripheral are pretending to sleep in order to quickly speed towards Pokémon Go rewards.
The new nap-tracking app requires you record at least 90 minutes of sleep per day – and it’s this minimum which users are now recording, before manually changing the date on their phones to then record another 90 minutes, and so forth.
Repeating this method allows you to rack up rewards for recording a week’s worth of sleep (albeit no less than 90 minutes at a time) in just a few hours, users writing on Pokémon fan reddit TheSilphRoad say. And doing so seems fairly straightforward, with the app’s sleep sensor simply turned off and on without you actually having to be asleep.
