How to Track Sleep With Pokemon Go Plus +

Quality rest is important for every Trainer, and the Pokemon Go Plus + is a nifty device to help you track your sleep. This small Poke Ball-shaped gadget enables players to check their sleep habits and earn bonus daily rewards in-game. As a result, a win-win activity for both your virtual Trainer and your physical body. However, understanding how to use the new Go Plus + device can be slightly confusing for newcomers. Fortunately, the process for tracking sleep with the Pokemon Go Plus + is quite straightforward.

With Sleep Data sharing active, you’ll now be able to choose the time of day when you’ll receive your sleep rewards. This time is also when your recorded in-game sleep schedule resets daily. Keep in mind that you must log into Pokemon Go to claim your sleep rewards, during which your Go Plus + should be connected. 

Next, let’s discuss how you can track your sleep using the device itself:

1. Before going to bed, start your sleep session by holding down the white circular center of the device. You’ll know the Go Plus + is ready when a light blue light flashes, followed by a lullaby.
2. With the device on a spot where you won’t roll over it, enjoy a good night or day’s sleep, depending on your lifestyle’s snooze schedule.
3. Once you’re awake, hold the Main Button on the Pokemon GO Plus + again. Multicolored lights should flash, but if a red light flashes, indicating your sleep wasn’t tracked successfully in Pokemon Go Plus Plus (+) Sleep Mode.
4. Reconnect your Pokemon GO Plus + to Pokemon GO to claim your rewards.
