Increasing Sleep Score in Pokemon Sleep helps players encounter new species, purchase new items, and level up Snorlax faster in the sleep-tracking game. So, here are the various ways you can increase your Sleep Score in Pokemon Sleep.

Pokemon Sleep players are constantly looking to make progress in the game and increasing their Sleep Score is one of the best ways to get the job done.

Here’s all you need to know to increase your Sleep Score in Pokemon Sleep.

How to get high Sleep Score in Pokemon Sleep

Here are the different ways you can increase your Sleep Score in Pokemon Sleep:

Ensure consistent sleep time

Many players may find it difficult to record 8 hours and 30 minutes of sleep in Pokemon Sleep. However, by consistently maintaining a sleep time of seven to eight hours for the duration of a week, they can improve their chances of earning a high Sleep Score.

Record multiple sleep sessions

Pokemon Sleep players who are unable to record consistent sleeping across multiple days can increase their Sleep Score by taking naps to record multiple sleep sessions in the game.

You should note that each nap should have a duration of at least 90 minutes in order to be tracked as a sleep session in the game. In addition, the Drowsy Power of Snorlax is considered for each session, letting you encounter new Pokemon once you wake up.

Get help from Night Cap Pikachu

Night Cap Pikachu is one of the best species to collect Berries for your Snorlax in Pokemon Sleep and increase your Sleep Score in the game. Players can get Night Cap Pikachu by connecting Pokemon Go Plus+ with their Pokemon Sleep account. Night Cap Pikachu will fill in as the sixth member of your team in Pokemon Sleep.

Here’s how you can connect Pokemon Go Plus+ and Pokemon Sleep:

  1. Turn on your Pokemon Go Plus+.
  2. Open Pokemon Sleep.
  3. Tap Main Menu.
  4. Go to Settings and More.
  5. Tap Pair a Device.

Once you do that, the app will scan for Pokemon Go Plus+. When the pairing is complete, the ‘Sleep’ button on the main menu will turn into Go Plus+.
