Pokemon Sleep update: Maintenance period, Good Sleep Day event, and more

A new Pokemon Sleep update is preparing to go live, meaning the app will have to undergo some maintenance. As part of the update, the game will receive its first event, optimise your power use while you sleep, and make various bug fixes.

Maintenance will kick off on August 25 at 1am and last until 5:30am UTC. If you begin tracking your sleep before maintenance begins or you start tracking your sleep during maintenance and only record one session of data, you’ll be able to conduct your sleep research as usual. However, if you record two sessions, they’ll be combined into a speed review, with all the sleep research completed automatically.

Pokemon Sleep update 1.0.6

Let’s get straight into the patch notes:

Game contents

Implementing the Good Sleep Day event, starting Wednesday, August 30
Broadening the conditions required to meet one’s bedtime so that players can meet their bedtimes by starting sleep tracking up to 90 minutes before or 30 minutes after their set bedtime
Implementing night mode for the loading screen. The loading screen will be adjusted so that it displays with a dark gray background rather than a white one at night.
Adjustments to graphic quality settings to include four levels (settings will be divided more finely than before, to help with performance and power usage)
Adjustments to the Research Community so that the player is returned to the same scroll location when they look at a friend’s research and then return to the Research Community screen
Decreasing the amount of data for new users to download when they register. Music for the second and subsequent areas will be downloaded the first time the player visits that area.
Adding a function that notifies the player on the home screen when a Good Camp Ticket’s effects have ended

Sleep tracking

Adjustments to make it possible to conduct sleep research even when damage to sleep data causes sleep tracking to fail
Addressing an issue that caused sleep duration measurements to be significantly shorter when the Slumbering stage was not detected during sleep tracking
Further optimization of power use during sleep tracking

The Average Daily Sleep Duration by Day on the Sleep Stats screen being shorter when there was at least one day with two sleep entries
The “Friend Limit Reached” pop-up appearing and stopping players from accepting a friend request if they previously had the maximum of 50 friends, removed a friend, and then tried to accept a friend request

The app becoming unable to proceed if Snorlax’s score went up when a player navigated to the sleep tracking screen

In rare cases, the app becoming unable to proceed after the Evolution animation
The app becoming unable to proceed if a player tapped a Pokémon immediately after the professor’s Master Biscuit tutorial ended
