I’ve quit Pokemon Sleep. Or, rather, I’m going on indefinite hiatus, which might be the same thing. After 1067 straight days of play, I didn’t log my sleep last night.
It’s been a while coming. For the past few months, it’s been a drag to have to keep opening the app to collect ability procs, feed my Snorlax, etc. Roughly three weeks ago is when I decided for sure I was quitting. But the two-week Latios/Latias event was coming up, so I decided I’d quit after that. Monday is when the event ended. So: I’m done. It felt so weird last night placing my phone on my nightstand instead of on the bed to track my sleep. And doubly weird to wake up this morning and not have any Snorlax maintenance to do. But a good kind of weird.
There’s always more to do in a “game” like this. For instance: During the event, I finally finished raising my Feraligatr to level 60. Feels a shame never to use him at 60, but Cyan Beach hasn’t been relevant in a long time. I only level pushed him out of favoritism/seniority. I also finally caught a usable triple berry Bagon after 20+ failures. In theory, I could come back for a candy boost week to raise him to Salamence. (I don’t think a single boost week would be enough. I’d either need two weeks, or the unlimited boost week at the end of the year.) Do I care enough to do this? Eh. Maybe. We’ll see.

Unrelated: Pokemon Go is still kinda popping. At my desk at work, I caught a pokemon. I was prompted to add it to a pokestop showcase, so I did. Rank 15. Then I swapped it out for my best available pokemon. Rank 16. Why did my rank go down when I swapped for a better pokemon? Because other people were adding pokemon in real time. A couple minutes later I glanced at the “today” tab and saw my rank had dropped to 22.
Might as well update the candy evolution list. I finished Blipbug and Clobbopus, and Dad traded me a Toedscruel. Wattrel came and went, thanks to the flying-type event that started today. So we’re down to the big dogs:
