The Sleep Tracking functionality is an essential feature of the Pokemon GO Plus +. By pressing the release button before bed and upon waking up, you can measure your sleep data and view results in the Sleep Graph.

In addition to tracking your sleep, you can choose Pikachu to do many other jobs. It can track your sleep and also sing you a song. The mouse monster will even attempt to improve your sleep by singing lullabies. You and Pikachu can grow together through this feature, strengthen your bond, and unlock new alarm sounds.

It's pretty cool to wake up to Pikachu's voice in the morning and have it help you fall asleep at night.
