Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock & Sound Machine
Hatch Restore is as gentle as it gets for a sunrise alarm clock, which is why it’s our clear top pick. With smart functionality, calming light, and integrated meditation, this clock will not only help you wind down, but actually make you want to hit the pillow.
The companion Hatch Sleep app lets you personalize your sleep-wake routine, but it best functions as a sound machine, with a library of soothing sounds, white noise and shades of mood lighting at your fingertips. The soft glow of the reading light is quite gentle, too.
The app also includes meditations and “sleep stories”, which really help establish a good routine before bed without having to force yourself down with melatonin gummies. The soft-touch buttons on the clock are also intuitive, so you don’t have to wake yourself up too much fumbling around in the dark. And we like this “putty” colorway, which blends in seamlessly with your existing bedroom decor.
With a sleek design, smart features, and a gentle touch, Hatch Restore lulls you off to sleep as effectively as it nudges you awake. We’ve been using a Hatch sunrise alarm clock for years and it’s still one of our go-tos for gentle nights and smoother mornings. Don’t just take our word for it though: more than 9,000 people have purchased the Hatch Restore 3 in the last month alone, per Amazon.
