What's your morning phone routine? After your alarm sounds but before you get out of bed, do you scroll through your mobile? Half asleep, I clear notifications, read BBC News, do the Wordle. This week, that changed - I checked in with Snorlax first instead.

If you've tried a sleep-tracking app on your phone before, Pokémon Sleep likely works in a similar method. You lay your device next to you in bed - with the app open and the phone unlocked - and it detects your night-time noise and movement. After a night with the app open, you then check in to see how your sleep varied during the night and to collect your rewards, with a better, longer night's sleep providing more .

All of this means you'll need to record your sleep each night and earn as high a sleep rating as possible - with the maximum 100 points given if you manage a full 8.5 hours. You can record two sleep sessions per 24 hour period, though these need to be at least 90 minutes in length to count - so no power naps.With an early night and no other games before bed, I managed to score an impressive 91 points for a sleep time of 7 hours and 43 minutes.

Looking at my sleep quality graph, I could see the times I stirred in the night - and when I got up at one point to go to the bathroom - alongside a collection of recordings from when the app picked up noise. This was a bit odd, to be honest - even knowing Pokémon Sleep doesn't share these recordings outside the app, it felt a little invasive to hear the times I was breathing heavily while unconscious, or the time someone banged a door outside my bedroom.
