Early Bird is one of the many abilities that are inheritable by Pokémon.
Function
Early Bird expedites the awakening of the possessor, effectively halving—if not nullifying—the durational value of it.
The sleep-turn reduction proportionates to the durational value of the sleep inducement: if initialized at 6, it will be halved to 3; if initialized at 3, it will be effectively halved and rounded down to 1; and if initialized at 1, the possessor will wake up at the end of the concurrent turn.
