Pokemon Sleep may not have the highest number of Pokemon, but it is arguably the best game for people who have very little playing time. The progress in the game is linked to an individual's sleep. More sleep means more points and better rewards.

Using Incense is rather simple, and it can be done in two ways. The first way is to add Incense by scrolling left on the screen until they find an object marked Incense. Upon clicking on it, players get the option to add up to two Incenses.

The second method requires players to click on the Sleep button in the bottom right corner, which will bring up a different menu. They should be able to see their bedtime and the Incense option. They have to click on the + sign to add the Incenses.
