According to Variety and The VergePokémon Sleep will launch in 2020 and use your sleeping pattern to impact your gameplay.

The app will track a user’s sleeping pattern and then adjust your GO gameplay based off of that pattern.

The app will work with the recently announced Pokémon GO Plus + where users will place the device on their pillow while they sleep. The device will then send your sleep pattern via bluetooth to your phone.
