Pokemon Sleep!

[heathen]

if you play Pokemon Go, then its a must! i highly recommend it!
It's much better than my Pokebal Plus.
The best part is, Pikachu sings to you

Okay, that's adorable haha. I need it!

The built in alarm feature is really good to know about! I'll definitely want to test it on a non-working day to make sure I respond well to it lol. My internal clock will not take over and get my butt outta bed at 4am without some verified help.

When this app was first announced, I honestly found it a bit weird. And honestly, I do still think it is a little weird. But I have to confess curiosity about it too, what with the different sleeping styles and all. I personally suffer from hypersomnia, so I wonder if that would mean I get to catch super rare Pokemon as a result of that. So I'm currently wrestling with the idea of downloading it to see if I will catch rare Pokemon, or if I even want to in the first place... Do you guys think the sleep data is being stored/resold kind of like how Pokemon Go was using location data for things?

I have the same problem lol, the app told me I have unusually long heavy sleeps. Can't really sleep as much as I want during the week but you bet I am sleeping insane hours on the weekend.

Their privacy notice states they keep the information on their servers. It can be shared but I have my phone set to where it doesn't share my data to other sources or track data from other apps. I've worked data privacy for 10 years, on a scale from off the grid prepper to Facebook Cambridge Analytica Scandal.....it falls pretty low. That said, as a general note make sure the privacy settings on your phone are updated to your liking. I loathe advertisements and so much more when they're targeted.

Yeah, in all honesty, a company knowing my sleep patterns isn't really like... Weird to me. I guess the information could be sold to companies that potentially could market from it, like I guess mattress companies or companies that sell blankets and stuff. For data that is useful for people, I can't really see it as being useful. I guess for me though, it's just that it's so weird that it makes me feel a bit strange about it. But also, there's that part of me that is just like "omg Pokemon" which... I guess is why they can kind of make random games like this and generate hype?

I'm practically a pro at sleeping though so I would get super high scores in this game.

Blankets, pillows, energy drinks, supplements....who knows honestly but I am kinda curious now lol. I won't know because all I get are untargeted gambling ads. But they're too late for that too cuz I already have Neopets! haha. I don't think it'll help with sleep that much but the research results are interesting at least.

I used this for the first time last night, can anybody hear the sounds that were recorded? I was hoping to hear some funny/weird shit I said in my sleep but it doesn't seem to be actually recording any sound.

edit: Reading some other posts about the alarm, I am a HEAVY sleeper and that alarm was able to wake me up. I was mainly confused as to what was happening bc I'm used to an iPhone alarm but it definitely woke me up.

Last night was my first time giving this a try after seeing this thread. Figured why not, i've never tracked my sleep before and aside from being creeped out something is listening to me sleep it seems easy enough! I wasn't sure what to expect and am still wandering around the app now, checking everything out but was so excited to see a new Pokemon I had to run here and share! (I think since this is the first night for me its giving me a few extra Pokemon to get going, but this seems to be like the 'reward' for sleeping.)



About to hand out some biscuits to everyone now ^-^
Thanks for the thread on this, its a super cute game!
