The Pokémon Company’s Pokémon Sleep, the smartphone app available for iOS and Android, proudly announces its Halloween-themed event, “Halloween 2023-Double Candy Research.” 

Held annually, this week-long event will be held in Pokémon Sleep at the Greengrass Isle, beginning on Oct. 30, Monday, at 4 a.m. and ending on Nov. 6, Monday, at 3:59 a.m.

Pokémon Sleep has tracked more than 100,000 years of sleep. On Thursday, Sept. 21, slightly over two months since the app’s release, the total amount of sleep tracked worldwide through Pokémon Sleep had exceeded 900 million hours. Sleep time tracked includes the time between a user pressing the Sleep button and then pressing the End Sleep Session, excluding time that the user was not sleeping, as determined by the algorithm.

The total sleep time (3,180,183,109,110 seconds) includes the total amount of sleep time tracked by all Pokémon Sleep users around the world, beginning at midnight (UTC) on July 16, 2023, Sunday, the day of the app’s global release, and ending at 11:59 p.m. (UTC) on Sept. 21, Thursday. Nine hundred million hours is equivalent to approximately 105,000 years. www.pokemonsleep.net
