A Japanese video game walkthrough listing sleeping pills as one of their recommended methods to get high scores in Pokémon Sleep has gone viral on Japanese Twitter recently. The mention of sleeping aid has since been deleted from the site.

I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.

I'm really not a fan of this game because of having to leave your phone on all night long with it plugged in. For multiple reasons, but the fire hazard is definitely one of them. Why couldn't it sync up with other passive sleep trackers, like smart watches?

I’d be interested in using it if the data could just be pulled from Apple Health. I don’t sleep with my phone and I’m not buying a $55 toy that does what my watch already accomplishes.

Exactly, I have a Galaxy watch myself and it does a fine job of tracking my sleep despite how old it is. They made Pokemon Go able to sync walking data with the system health app so they game could reward you even without it open. I don't know why they missed that for Pokemon Sleep, especially with all the delays
