It has been on the cards since 2019 and it looks like we will finally see one of the worst ideas Nintendo have had in a while arrive soon.

Pokémon Go Sleep and the go + technology that will measure how well you did overnight..at sleeping is on the way.

After being announced almost four years ago, Pokémon Sleep is finally ready to launch this summer - a year after its original projected release date of 2020.

Developed by Select Button, the mobile game is designed to track your sleep and categorize it into one of three types: dozing, snoozing and slumbering.

Players will have the chance to unlock rare sleep styles for various Pokémon, such as droopy-eared Pikachu, who looks very cute. The game also features Snorlax and Professor Neroli, a Pokémon sleep researcher.

All you need to do is to leave your phone next to you when you go to bed and let the app analyze your sleep.

The Pokémon Company has provided an update on the Pokémon Go Plus +, a physical device that connects to both Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon Go. With Pokémon Sleep, you can press the button on the device when you go to bed and again when you wake up to track your sleep data, instead of needing to have your phone next to you. The device also features a built-in alarm and a Pikachu voice that can sing lullabies. For Pokémon Go, the disc-shaped device can be used to automatically spin PokéStops and throw Poké Balls without even needing to press a button. Eventually, there will be a way to connect your sleep data to Pokémon Go as well.

Back in 2019 I was talking about why I thought Pokémon Go Sleep was a bad idea, and my thoughts have not changed!

Here's everything I feel about how Pokemon Sleep and the Pokemon sleep + accessory will work...or not work depending on the person..

Do Sleep apps work?

The big question that I would ask, as someone who helps people to sleep better would be...Do Sleep Apps Work?

My answer would be No! So why do I say this? It's based on lots of experience and also seeing how people who use sleep apps can become obsessed with statistics which do not really tell you how well your are sleeping. The only way to really tell is to see how refreshed you feel!

There are much better ways to learn how to switch off and sleep better than being guided by an app. In fact Just having your phone with you in bed is a terrible idea anyway. You should be switching it off and even getting rid of the clock?!

What should I get rid of the clock to sleep better?

The best way to explain things is in this video all about top tips to help you sleep. Have a watch and everything will make sense! Three Tips to get back to sleep.

So what are they saying down at Nintendo about the new release of Pokemon Sleep.

As a hypnotherapist, I have had the opportunity to help countless individuals overcome their fears and phobias. Whether it be a fear of flying, public speaking, or even a fear of spiders, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective treatment option.

First, it's important to understand that fears and phobias are often rooted in past experiences or traumatic events. These experiences can create a psychological association between the feared object or situation and a feeling of danger or anxiety. For example, an individual who had a traumatic experience on a plane may develop a fear of flying.

Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind, where these associations are stored. By utilizing techniques such as visualization and suggestion, a hypnotherapist can help an individual to change their perception of the feared object or situation. Instead of viewing it as dangerous or anxiety-provoking, the individual can learn to associate it with feelings of calm and safety.

One of the key benefits of hypnotherapy for fears and phobias is that it can be done in a relatively short period of time. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which can take months to address a fear or phobia, hypnotherapy can often provide significant improvement in just a few sessions.

Another benefit of hypnotherapy is that it is a non-invasive and safe treatment option. Unlike exposure therapy, which may involve gradually exposing an individual to the feared object or situation, hypnotherapy does not require any physical contact with the feared object or situation. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who have extreme or debilitating fears or phobias.

Hypnotherapy can help an individual to understand the origins of their fear or phobia and to release the emotional charge associated with the traumatic event.

During hypnotherapy session, the hypnotherapist guides the client into a relaxed, trance-like state. This state is characterized by heightened suggestibility and an increased ability to focus on the present moment. Once the client is in this state, the hypnotherapist can begin to introduce positive suggestions and visualization exercises designed to help the client overcome their fear or phobia.

In addition to helping individuals to overcome their specific fears or phobias, hypnotherapy can also improve overall mental and emotional well-being. By addressing the underlying psychological issues that contribute to fears and phobias, hypnotherapy can help individuals to develop greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and resilience.

Hypnotherapy is often recommended to be combined with other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or EFT and EMDR for better results. All of these are techniques that I have a great deal of experience with.

In conclusion, hypnotherapy is a highly effective and efficient treatment option for individuals who are looking to overcome their fears and phobias. By utilizing techniques such as visualization and suggestion, a hypnotherapist can help an individual to change their perception of the feared object or situation and replace it with feelings of calm and safety. It's a non-invasive and safe treatment option that can provide significant improvement in a short period of time, and can also improve overall mental and emotional well-being.
