Let Snorlax study your snoozing in 'Pokémon Sleep'
Having trouble sleeping? One of the ultimate pros in that particular industry can help out.
I am, of course, referring to Snorlax, the eternally sleepy Pokémon who sits at the center of Pokémon Sleep, a free mobile app launching sometime in July. Originally announced waaaaay back in 2019 and revived earlier this year, Pokémon Sleep is little more than a sleep tracker with an adorable skin, but hey, that doesn't sound so bad.
To be fair, there are a handful of unique Pokémon-flavored features in the app. You have a companion Snorlax who grows in size more the better you sleep. The app also studies your sleep habits and rewards you with different "sleep styles" so you can theoretically fill up a Pokédex with different methods of sleeping. Other Pokémon besides Snorlax will come visit on occasion, too.

Oh, and it's compatible with the Pokémon Go Plus bracelet, if you want to track your sleep using a wearable device instead of just your phone. That'll run you an extra $30, while the app itself is free. But you can't put a price on making your nighttime rest more adorable than ever.
