Users are racking up the Pokmon Go rewards by cheating at sleeping

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Pokmon Sleep players that have gotten their hands on the Pokmon Go Plus+ 
peripheral ($54.99/50) are using it to rack up weeks of sleep to get their 
hands on rewards for Pokmon Go . 

The new app, which tracks your sleep and gives you rewards for getting your 
nap on, requires at least 90 minutes of sleep to be recorded a day. Savvy 
users are recording that 90 minutes before changing the date on their phones 
manually before recording another nap. 

This seems to be fairly simple to do, with the app's sleep sensor merely 
being required to turn on and off, according to Pokmon fan Reddit 
TheSilphRoad . Posts on the fan Reddit also reveal the reason players would 
be doing this: an adorable Pokmon GO Snorlax. Five of them, in fact. 

This Nightcap Snorlax, called so because of his cute little nightcap, is only 
available from the questline in Pokmon GO for users that have used a Plus+ 
peripheral to link together their data in Go and Pokmon Sleep. Tracking your 
sleep for seven days will get you an encounter with a 1106 CP Komala, and a 
Snorlax. In addition, finishing the first group of quests will give you an 
additional Snorlax encounter, with further encounters for those who track 
their sleep for 14, 21, and 28 days. 

These encounters also give players a chance at a shiny for one of these rare 
Snorlax variants. It's not clear how common this is, but the usual rate for a 
shiny encounter is one in 520. 

This doesn't feel like it's in tune with the stated aim of the game. If you 
want to try better living (and sleeping) through Pokmon Sleep , our crack 
team of sleep experts has put together some Pokmon Sleep tips to help you get 
the best night's sleep you can. Careful though, while it's listening to you, 
Pokmon Sleep is also recording the noise of your farts . 

 Elsewhere in games, Diablo 4 has released another patch as Season 1 kicks 
off, and it's bad news for sorcerers.
