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.

        Nope, averyminya is right. It needs to be on to track your sleep for some reason. I assume it’s an OS limitation for privacy reasons.

          I don’t think it’s that. I have a sleep tracker called Sleep Cycle and its able to track everything on the background and with the phone screen off

            Sounds like the app is just poorly optimized, because sleep tracking with the screen off has been doable on Android for years now, and I assume it’s the same for iOS sleep trackers, as well.
