People can't even enjoy sleep anymore — Pokèmon Sleep littered with cheaters as popular sleep tracking app's developer calls for players to ‘enjoy the app according to the rules’

Pokemon Sleep: Snorlax stuffed animal with Pokemon Sleep app. .

The Pokèmon Company may just hold the esteemed award of having the first game where players are faking the quality of sleep they get each night. Things have gotten so bad that the developer has had to respond.

Pokèmon Sleep is an app that measures the amount of sleep you get and the quality of your sleep by using the microphone and accelerometer of your best iPhone and charting it. Then, you are given a score based on this sleep that captures Pokèmon in the app. These Pokèmon can be recorded in a ‘Sleep-Style Dex’, and can then be recruited to gather berries, ingredients, and more. The better you sleep, the quicker you can find and collect new types of Pokèmon.
