Pokemon Sleep - Good Sleep Day Event
The Good Sleep Day Event is a monthly 3-day event in Pokemon Sleep during the time of the full moon! Read on for more details about this full moon event, including the bonuses, Good Sleep Day Bundle, schedule dates, and featured Pokemon!

Good Sleep Day Event Schedule

Pokemon Sleep Events Calendar

The Good Sleep Day Event begins and ends at 4 AM Local Time for All Time Zones.

Good Sleep Day Event Bonuses and Bundles

Good Sleep Day Event Bonuses

Date Drowsy Power EXP Gain Bonus Bonus Sleep Points
Day 1 x1.5 x2 500 points
Day 2 (Full Moon) Varies x3 1000 points
Hay 3 x1.5 x2 500 points

During the Good Sleep Day event, Drowsy Power and the EXP gain of your helper Pokemon will be multiplied. You can also get extra Sleep Points during the event!

The Drowsy Power bonus on the full moon day varies depending on what day it falls on.

Full Moon Drowsy Power Bonuses

Day of the Full Moon Drowsy Power Bonus
Monday x4
Tuesday x3
Wednesday x2.5
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday x2

Starting with the fourth Good Sleep Day event, bonuses for the night of the full moon will depend on what day it falls on.

The Drowsy Power multiplier will remain the same at double (x2) power if the full moon falls on a Thursday, Friday, or a weekend. This is probably because Monday is the beginning of the Pokemon Sleep week, where most people will have a low Snorlax Rating. Another reason may be because many people find it harder to get enough sleep during weekdays compared to weekends.

Increased Encounter Rates for Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable

Increased Encounter Rate
Pokemon Sleep - CleffaCleffa Pokemon Sleep - ClefairyClefairy Pokemon Sleep - ClefableClefable

Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable have increased encounter rates for the entire duration of the event and an even greater encounter chance on the day of the full moon. For better chances of encountering a Shiny, it's recommended to do two sleep sessions in a day.

Clefairy and Clefable are both Snoozing-type Pokemon, while Cleffa is a Slumbering Pokemon. Try to aim for those sleep types or for the Balanced Type if you want to encounter these Pokemon.

Increased Chance for Unregistered Sleep Styles

Pokemon Sleep - All Sleep Style Dex Goals

Starting from the October 2024 Good Sleep Day event, unregistered Sleep Styles are more likely to appear during sleep research on Good Sleep Day event dates.

All Sleep Style Dex Goals, Unlocks, and Rewards

Use Incense During Event

Item Description
Pokemon Sleep - Focus Incense Focus Incense Doubles the research EXP gained after sleep research. Good for one sleep session, then consumed.
Pokemon Sleep - Friend Incense Friend Incense Ensures that at least one Pokemon will appear during snack time feeling particularly hungry. Good for one sleep session, then consumed.
Pokemon Sleep - Growth Incense Growth Incense Doubles the EXP that helpers gain after sleep research. Good for one sleep session, then consumed.
Pokemon Sleep - Luck Incense Luck Incense Doubles the Dream Shards received after sleep research. Good for one sleep session, then consumed.
Pokemon Sleep - Recovery Incense Recovery Incense Doubles the Energy that helpers recover after sleep research. Good for one sleep session, then consumed.

You can further take advantage of the bonuses from Good Sleep Day by using various Incenses before starting a sleep session.

We recommend using a Growth Incense to rapidly level up your team of Helper Pokemon. This stacks with the EXP bonus of the event and is best used during the full moon.

Use a Luck Incense to increase the Dream Shards you get during sleep research. Higher Drowsy Power means you have a higher likelihood of finding rare Sleep Styles and evolved Pokemon, which often give more Dream Shards.

A Friend Incense would also be very helpful if you already have a high base Snorlax Strength and Rating and are expecting to encounter rare Pokemon upon waking up.

Do note that you can use up to two Incenses at once.

List of All Incense and How to Get Them

Bonuses Only Affect Sleep Sessions Started During Event

Pokemon Sleep - Good Sleep Day Points

The Good Sleep Day bonuses only apply for sleep sessions that were started while the event is ongoing. Sleep sessions that begin before 4 AM on the event's first day will not be affected by any of the bonuses.

Likewise, sessions that start before 4 AM when the event ends and end after the event is over should still have the bonuses active for that sleep session.

Good Sleep Day Bundle Contents
Items Cost
1500 Diamonds

The Good Sleep Day Bundle accompanies each Good Sleep Day event. This is usually made available a day before the start of the Good Sleep Day event for the month, and it leaves the General Store a day after it ends.

So far, each iteration of the Good Sleep Day Bundle has contained the same items and has the same cost of 1500 Diamonds.

When is the Next Full Moon Good Sleep Day Event?

Occurs Every Month on the Full Moon

The Good Sleep Day event occurs during every full moon. Pokemon Sleep follows the timing of the full moon for eastern countries like Japan when determining their Good Sleep Day event dates.

The full moon for March is on March 14, which means the Good Sleep Day event for the month willl be on March 13 to 15. For April, the full moon will be on April 13.

Announced During August Pokemon Presents

Pokemon Sleep - Good Sleep Day Event

The Pokemon Presents on August 8, 2023 announced a new event that will be coming to Pokemon Sleep called Good Sleep Day. This event can help out people who have been struggling with their Sleep Scores and resulting Drowsy Power.

During this event, Snorlax's Drowsy Power will be stronger than usual. This will allow you to find more Pokemon after your sleep sessions.
