Sleep type

Sleep types (Japanese: 睡眠タイプ Sleep type) are properties that apply to the Pokémon that can be encountered in Pokémon Sleep, as well as to the player's own sleep sessions. Sleep types determine which Pokémon will gather around the player's Snorlax in the game.

Summary

A Pokémon can have only one sleep type. There are three sleep types in the game, each corresponding to a real-world sleep stage terminology.

• Dozing type (Japanese: うとうとタイプ Dozing type); this corresponds to the "awake" or "light sleep" phase of a sleep cycle. Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon generally have the Dozing sleep type, as do Poison-type and Dark-type Pokémon.
• Snoozing type (Japanese: すやすやタイプ Peaceful sleeping type); this corresponds to rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep) or Stages 1-2 of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM sleep). Fire-type and Electric-type Pokémon generally have the Snoozing sleep type, as do Normal-type, Psychic-type, and Fairy-type Pokémon.
• Slumbering type (Japanese: ぐっすりタイプ Deep sleeping type); this corresponds to non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM sleep), especially its Stage 3, also known as deep sleep. Water-type and Ground-type Pokémon generally have the Slumbering sleep type, as do Rock-type Pokémon and baby Pokémon.

When a player finishes tracking a sleep session, the game will analyze the time that the player spends on each sleep stage, and will categorize the player's sleep as Dozing, Snoozing, Slumbering, or Balanced (a middle ground between the three). The category of this sleep session will then determine the species of Pokémon that would gather around the player's Snorlax (with a Balanced sleep, the Pokémon that will gather will be of a variety of sleep types).
