Note the follow up that sticking to your bedtime 4 times in a row is another goal. We’re ruined, folks.

I heard from a friend that this game wants your screen to be on all night? Is that true?

The app advises you to turn your phone over so the screen is facing the bed. The screen turns off but the game is still running. It also advises you not to place your phone under a pillow or blanket to prevent overheating.

Lol phone on and nearby the bed? The best way to get only 2 hours of sleep

Just activate the silent mode. I don’t really get the issue honestly.

Just tried this last night. I got about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, stressing about leaving the potential fire hazard next to me.

If you don’t have the Pokémon GO Plus+ it needs the phone to be on =\

Wait… they made an app/game for sleep which requires the screen to be on all night unless you pay?

I am assuming Pokemon GO Plus is a paid service.

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it’s two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.

They tell you to place the phone facedown so the screen will at least dim & not be keeping you from sleeping (hopefully). Otherwise yeah, the alternative is to get the device that can track sleep without leaving the phone screen on.

My wife got her PG++ at Best Buy in Canada for $75 CA, IIRC.

Wow, I didn’t think I paid that much for mine. I preordered it when it came out, but I thought I was paying closer to $50. Not cheap either, but still not $75
