Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock, Sound Machine, Smart Light (Cocoa) - White Noise, Screen-Free Sleep Routine

While the price may seem steep, the impact this clock has had on my morning routine has been worth it! When I got the clock it was super easy to set-up through the app, which is where you control your settings from. I love the design because it is so simple and "aesthetic" as well. As for functionality, I will start by saying I bought this clock because I have horrible morning aggression and wake up extremely irritable.. it is not pleasant for me or anybody else but having this sunrise clock has made me significantly less of a b***h in the mornings. The wake up is slow, and you can choose how long you want the clock to gradually brighten in the morning. I have mine set to start at 6:30am and brighten over time until 7:15am. It also has a handful of free wakeup noises to choose from that also gradually get louder as the light gets brighter. I find that this slow transition from sleep to awakeness has changed how I operate in the mornings, not only in attitude, but also in "grogginess"... not only am I calmer and happier, I also no longer feel completely exhausted upon waking up/being woken up suddenly by the Apple alarm (worst sounds known to man). 10/10 would recommend to anybody battling with morning aggression or difficulty waking up suddenly/sleeping through alarms.TL;DR - This clock works extremely well in my case, to wake me peacefully. I feel more energized when I wake because I am not jolted out of sleep, and I also wake up much happier and significantly less irritable. This clock has given me a better start to my day and is super cute and easy to use. I can't speak for everyone, but for me this clock was worth every penny.

I look forward to using it every night and it does help me wake up gently without having to use my phone.

I had been wanting to purchase one of these for years. However, I sleep with a box fan (on max level) and didn’t think that a Hatch Restore would be helpful for me because I already use a fan for noise/airflow. I decided to go ahead and get the Restore to test out the sunrise alarm more than anything. To my surprise, each feature of the Hatch Restore has been pretty life changing for my nighttime/morning routine. Firstly, the sunrise alarm theory works very well. It gently wakes me up instead of a jarring alarm. I get up for the day feeling way more rested and peaceful than before. I use the free version of the app and set up the 30 minute “wind down” routine with the “sample” sounds that comes with it. Each night, the Restore plays a different ambient sound while the night light slowly dims with the 30 minute timer. Once it fully dims, it switches to my sleep sound I chose, which is nighttime crickets. I have it set to a specific sound level that can be heard over my box fan. The sound quality is amazing. Mixing fan noise and ambient noises is actually a really great move for better sleep. I personally think that the premium membership would be worth it - then you can create your own routines and use any of the sounds in their rather large sound library. Lastly, the UI for this clock is really great. Tap it anywhere to see the time, press the top button to start your nighttime routine, hold it down to turn off your alarm. Simple and easy. Yes, the clock is very expensive. But this is the most extensive and customizable clock I have ever seen. It really has helped my sleep tremendously and I have been recommending it to so many people. Worth the money!!!
