In Pokémon Sleep, the player is tasked with raising a {{p|Snorlax}} and researching various Pokémon sleep styles by regularly tracking the player's sleep. The player is assisted by [[Professor Neroli]] throughout the game.

During the night, the game keeps track of the player's sleep using their smart device or [[Pokémon GO Plus +]] peripheral. In order for the game to do so, the player must place their smart device or Pokémon GO Plus + on their bed, preferably beside their pillow. Either device must not be placed on hard surfaces such as the bedframe or the floor, since this prevents the game from tracking the player's movements. If using a smart device, it should be kept plugged-in with the game opened and the screen turned on, and placed face-side down on the bed.<ref name=HowToPlayvid>(July 6, 2023).

When the player wakes up in the morning, the game will grade the player's sleep and give a score based on the sleep's duration and consistency, and will categorize the sleep into the following types: Dozing, Snoozing, Slumbering, or Balanced.<ref name=Sleepsite1>[https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/pokemon/ Sleep Tracking — Pokémon Sleep Official Webpage]</ref> Pokémon will appear around the player's Snorlax, corresponding to the sleep type of the day. Researching these Pokémon will allow the player to fill out and complete their Sleep Style Dex. Some of these Pokémon can be recruited as helpers by offering them Poké Biscuits. These Helper Pokémon will gather items such as {{Berries}}, and can be leveled up and [[Evolution|evolved]].<ref name=Serebii>Merrick, Joe (July 7, 2023).

In the afternoon, the player raises the Snorlax by feeding it Berries and cooking it meals. The player may give the Snorlax 3 meals each day. Feeding Snorlax increases its "Strength", which is multiplied by the player's sleep score to form its "Drowsy Power". As Snorlax's Drowsy Power increases, the number of Pokémon that will gather around it in the morning will also increase, as well as chances to find rare Pokémon sleep styles.<ref name=Sleepsite2/><ref name=Serebii/>
