The Hatch Restore 3 is a bedside sleep device that combines a customisable sound machine, a gradual sunrise alarm, and a reading light in one unit.
The Hatch Restore 3 is a bedside sleep device that combines a customisable sound machine, a gradual sunrise alarm, and a reading light in one unit. It is designed to replace the phone on your nightstand - the routines it runs at bedtime and wake-up are controlled directly on the device, so there is no screen to scroll before sleep.
Place the device on your nightstand and set your preferred sleep and wake routines directly on the unit. Use the sound and light features consistently each night - regularity matters more than any single setting. No phone or app is required once your routine is configured on the device.
At night, you choose from over 80 ambient sounds to mask environmental noise and signal to your brain that the day is done. The room light can dim and warm to support the natural wind-down process. In the morning, light builds incrementally before your set alarm time, mimicking a gradual sunrise so that waking feels less abrupt. The idea is to reduce sleep inertia - that heavy, disoriented feeling that comes with an alarm cutting hard into deep sleep.
This suits anyone whose sleep is disrupted by noise, harsh morning alarms, or the habit of reaching for a phone at both ends of the night. It is equally relevant to shift workers managing irregular light cues, and to people who want a low-effort, consistent sleep-wake routine without an app dependency. Four physical buttons handle the full routine.
The Restore 3 was named a TIME Best Inventions 2025 selection. For a doctor-curated sleep toolkit, a device that addresses light environment and sound - two of the most evidence-supported levers for sleep quality - earns its place without overpromise.

Your first order creates it. Add your blood results or a wearable, and a doctor can recommend what suits you.
Sign inNo. The device is controlled via four physical buttons on the unit itself, so your phone can stay out of the bedroom entirely once you have configured your preferred settings.
A gradual light increase before your alarm time allows your body to move towards lighter sleep stages before the sound triggers. This may reduce sleep inertia — the groggy, disoriented feeling that comes with waking abruptly from deep sleep.
The sunrise light is localised to the device's side of the room, but any gradual light build will be present in a shared space. If your partner is particularly sensitive to light, this is worth considering before purchase.
The device includes over 80 ambient sounds, covering white noise, nature sounds, and other sleep-oriented audio options.
It is particularly well matched to people who struggle with noisy sleep environments, harsh morning alarms, or the habit of using a phone at both ends of the night. It is also relevant to shift workers who need to reinforce consistent light-and-sound sleep cues.
Overall

I was sceptical about spending this much on what is essentially an alarm clock, but three weeks in I genuinely notice the difference. The sunrise wake-up is so much gentler than my phone alarm — I've been waking up before it even goes off some mornings. The sound library is massive and I've settled on a rain-on-leaves option that I'd have laughed at six months ago. No regrets.

That was the whole point and it actually worked. I stopped reaching for my phone first thing and last thing, which I didn't think was possible. Sleep feels noticeably heavier since I started using the wind-down light routine.

Bought this after a friend who's a physio recommended it. I use the dimming amber light from about 9pm and pair it with white noise. It sounds basic but it really does signal to my brain that it's time to sleep. The sunrise alarm has also stopped me lying in on work days, which is a bonus I didn't expect.

The device itself does everything it promises. Sound quality is excellent, the sunrise feature is lovely, and setup took about two minutes. My only gripe is that £215 feels steep when you compare it to cheaper alternatives that do most of the same things. If you can stretch to it, the build quality justifies the cost — just about.

Using this before bed has become a proper ritual. The light dims slowly enough that I barely notice, and I've been falling asleep faster than I have in years. Would absolutely buy again.

Working rotating shifts means my sleep has always been all over the place. This has helped me create some consistency — I use it to signal 'night' even when I'm sleeping in the afternoon. The blackout function combined with ocean sounds is what I go back to every time. Solid bit of kit.
