Curated, not stocked.
Light and sound are two of the most studied environmental levers for sleep quality, and most people manage neither deliberately. The Restore 3 addresses both in a single device, with the added benefit of removing the phone from the bedroom — itself one of the most practical changes a clinician can recommend. It was recognised as a TIME Best Inventions 2025 selection, and we think that reflects genuine utility rather than novelty.
About this product
Hatch Restore 3
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.
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.

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.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Do I need the Hatch app to use the Restore 3?
No. 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.
How does a sunrise alarm actually help with waking up?
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.
Is this suitable for people who share a bed with a light-sensitive partner?
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.
How many sounds does the Restore 3 include?
The device includes over 80 ambient sounds, covering white noise, nature sounds, and other sleep-oriented audio options.
Who is this most suited to?
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.
