The Pokémon Sleep region is divided into research areas, each inhabited by a Snorlax and its own Pokémon. You pick one at the start of each week. Here are the nine areas, including two in Expert Mode, based on Poképédia.

The weekly rules

  • Once you have chosen an area, you can’t change it until the following week, unless you use a ticket; changing resets the week’s Drowsy Power and missions.
  • Each full week on an island increases its area bonus by 5%.
  • The “Research Status” screen shows the share of sleep styles observed, Pokémon recruited and the recommended team strength.
