Pokémon Sleep taught me the power of a healthy routine | Digital Trends

One adorable week with Pokémon Sleep left me with some complicated questions about gamification in health apps.

I’m interested in what they’re doing here, but a part of me just feels like going to live far away on a mountain completely off-grid and away from the digital world we’ve created

I have used it a few times. Especially if I haven’t paid attention and mu Fitbit has died during the day so I can still track my sleep.

I kind of hate it, though. I appreciate the gamification, I guess, but when I’m trying to sleep and it’s asking me to complete research and feed my Pokémon when I’m trying to go to sleep it seems…counter intuitive.

Overall, it’s never going to replace my Fitbit which actually tracks my sleep with something other than sounds, but I’m open the the idea of gamifying my sleep, especially when I’m actively trying to improve it. I’m just not sure this is the way.
