Hatch Restore 1 - Sleep Sound Machine & Sunrise Alarm Clock (Factory Reconditioned)

I am an active male in my mid 20s and I’ve struggled with sleep for a few years primarily due to work stress. My inability to get a good night's rest began in college with the all-night study sessions, social events, and general stress of being a student. This problem has compounded over the years. I've tried various meditation and sleep apps but none have had a lasting effect on my ability to fall and stay asleep. My research led me to Hatch, through which I discovered their newest product offering geared towards adults -- Restore. What stands out to me most about this product is the expansive content library -- guided meditations, white/relaxing noises, bedtime stories, etc -- making it much more than an alarm clock. Restore has enabled me to establish a consistent nightly routine, made better by the inclusive content library that I can control from my phone. Additionally, I'm a very light sleeper which means that external noises from my apartment complex regularly wake me up and disturb my sleep cycle. The white noise content has been really helpful in reducing external noise and keeping me asleep. I’ve used white noise machines/apps before but they would either shut off in the middle of the night or the sound would loop and actually keep me awake. The variety of white noises (and other sounds) this device has is extremely helpful in this regard.   Of all features, the one that has pleasantly surprised me most is the sunrise alarm feature. I’ve never used (and didn't know) what a "sunrise alarm clock" was prior to purchasing this product. Every morning, the light on the Restore syncs with the sunrise and gradually brightens, which is especially great since I like to sleep with blackout curtains. If I wake up unexpectedly in the middle of the night, this light is especially helpful in letting me know if it's almost time to wake up (or if there's no light, that it's the middle of the night and okay to go back to sleep). Instead of waking up to the blaring iPhone alarm sound, I wake up from this gradual "sunrise" light brightening up my room and the peaceful sound of waves/birds chirping/etc. This has made a significant difference in my morning moods. Waking up doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it. Using a product like this has helped me wake up on the right side of the bed every morning. I never realized how toxic and negative it was to wake up to a jolting alarm clock. I feel like most people don’t know what a "sunrise" alarm clock is and I’ve told some friends about it because it seriously changed my mornings. Not only have my nightly and morning routines improved drastically, this product has also enabled me to stay accountable to a nightly routine that has noticeably improved my sleep quality. Restore's technology and design make it a very pleasant essential to any bedroom. Sleep and meditation matter even more especially during current circumstances, and my friends who have purchased this product agree with me that this is 100% worth the investment for personal care/health. If you’re looking to get great sleep naturally and need some help, this product is fantastic. I'm still surprised by the immediate and noticeable impact this product has had on my daily life!
