Hatch

Restore 3

Comfortable and relaxing sleep

I have had trouble with my night time routine playing the same episode over and over again even if I listen all the way to the end! That’s my only complaint

Love this thing. Don’t think I can sleep without it

I love my hatch!! Has changed my mornings for the better.

the slow rising light is great at helping me wake up easier

I love that Brown Noise was added!

I love waking up to the sounds of birds I do pay for the subscription personally because I don’t mind spending the extra money and I don’t think the subscription is needed, but I love it having also trust me when I say go to sleep listening to Icelandic waterfalls it’s so amazing it. If I’m being honest, do not always listen to when it tells me to go to sleep, but otherwise I love it so much and I love the meditation setting too.

I am so happy with the product and the service provided. I have and will recommend this product/company to everyone

My Restore 2 is wonderful - the sunrise alarm really helps me, and my bedtime routine has really helped me to fall asleep.

I previously had a Restore (the previous model) that began to malfunction after four years. I wrote to Hatch Support to troubleshoot, and after we exhausted the typical options, Hatch Support offered to send me the Restore 2 for free. I was blown away by their responsiveness and candor. I think this company really cares and goes above and beyond for their customers, which is so wonderful to experience. I'm so thankful to Hatch for my great nights of sleep!

I bought the hatch with the goal of waking up more rested, as I still felt tired and groggy throughout the day after waking up. The hatch definitely makes my mornings easier, but I would advise some caution if you are someone that already struggles with getting up when their alarm goes off. I noticed I often have a habit of going back to bed until a second alarm, and since the sunrise is set over a long period, it is hard to set multiple alarms, but after having the hatch for a few weeks I was able to form a habit of actually getting up at the first alarm. I think the sunrise feature and gentle noise of the hatch has made forming that habit significantly easier.

Beyond waking up, I have been falling asleep faster and easier since the hatch lets me form a habit and the bedtime routine I set up triggers my brain into "sleep mode." Like I mentioned with the waking up bit, the Hatch isn't going to magically change your life overnight. Your brain will need to adjust to a new routine and form new habits and the clock itself isn't going to do that for you. Most criticism I have seen seems to be because people expect the hatch to magically form these habits for you, and it will not, it will require some effort on your end as well. Additionally, a lot of the criticism comes in regarding the price and subscription.

I will say the hatch is pricey (obviously) so buying one is a significant decision. I bought mine with a coupon while it was on sale, so it was more manageable, and I don't have the subscription. I do think it's frustrating to have a subscription when your product is already at a high price point, but they want to continue making money off of their alarms after selling, which is a smart business model from the revenue perspective. Because you are paying for a luxury product, I do think maybe the free library could be expanded some, but I find that I have little want for the subscription, as it doesn't seem entirely worth it to me. I also have some ideas for future hatch developments, such as adding a speaker feature so users could play their own selection of white noise or something similar off YouTube, which may entice customers who already use YouTube to help fall asleep. Additionally perhaps setting up a routine that starts automatically at a specific time at night (this may be a thing I haven't really tried it). Overall I think this product is a good product, I just hope the company doesn't become greedy and further restrict the free options when their product is already priced so high!
