I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.

I'm really not a fan of this game because of having to leave your phone on all night long with it plugged in. For multiple reasons, but the fire hazard is definitely one of them. Why couldn't it sync up with other passive sleep trackers, like smart watches?

Wait, you don’t leave your phone on charge over night anyway?

leave your phone on all night long

The screen is on, assumed.

Oh, this app doesn’t work with the screen off?

Nope, averyminya is right. It needs to be on to track your sleep for some reason. I assume it's an OS limitation for privacy reasons.

I don’t think it’s that. I have a sleep tracker called Sleep Cycle and its able to track everything on the background and with the phone screen off

Sounds like the app is just poorly optimized, because sleep tracking with the screen off has been doable on Android for years now, and I assume it's the same for iOS sleep trackers, as well.
