The sleeping types will determine what kind of Pokémon you’ll attract.
An objective in the game will be to help Professor Neroli research other in-game sleep styles of Pokémon, as can be seen with a Slowpoke resting in a goofy sleep style and a Totodile with its one-eyed sleep style.

The device is a new version of the “Pokémon Go” companion that can also be used as a sleep tracker for “Pokémon Sleep.” However, the device is not a necessity as “Pokémon Sleep” can be played on smartphones and is slated to release for iOS and Android. 
An official release date for “Pokémon Sleep” has not yet been announced.
