Hatch Restore 1 (2020 Model)

Product Information

If you normally sleep with a box fan running but don't want dust bunnies blown into your face all night, this is the pick for you. According to Bupa, SAD affects 3% of the UK population and is four times more likely to affect women than men. You love to customise: the app is packed with a thousands of sleep sounds to help you drift off to sleep. I’m a minimalist when it comes to sleep, and it’s hard to convince me that additional devices are necessary to sleep well (or better, for that matter).

I don’t have the best memory in the morning or when I’m sleepy, so it’s helpful to be able to distinguish them by touch. Still, it does what it promises, providing good quality white noise as well as a range of other lovely and calming sounds. The light emitted resembled the natural sunlight that it had been designed to, and I've not looked back since.

Cover background noises with white noise, pink noise, brown noise and other sleep sounds inspired by nature and backed by science. Not only will the natural light from your alarm clock stimulate lighter mornings, but you can keep it lit throughout the day to help get you through the dark winter months.

Why we love it: The best sunrise alarm clock for SAD sufferers is the Philips sunrise alarm clock, which marries the benefits of light therapy with seven different natural sounds - from gentle piano music to FM radio and sounds of the sea.

Those in smaller spaces or people who travel a lot should consider a portable light with battery or charging options. There's a USB port for music playback or charging your phone, bluetooth for streaming your own music, and the snooze is tap-controlled. It has everything you would expect from a luxury version, but it also incorporates multiple settings to make it a functional 4-in-1 product.

If you’re going through the menopause, your sleep is likely to be a bit disrupted and you may be more susceptible to waking up to sounds as your tolerance for it may change. Rather than a loud alarm startling you awake, these gentle wake up lights slowly increase the level of light in your room to mimic sunrise.I tried this device for a month, and I can confidently say I see a difference in my morning and night routines — but still, is it worth it?

I’m a huge fan of free, but a fan won’t turn off itself during the night like a white noise machine can. Noise machines vary from little portable powerhouses that throw out a handful of fan sounds to complex and expensive wired ‘companions’ that connect to your phone and train you in sleep-related habits, like meditation and mindfulness.

On the top of the Hatch, you’ll find ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ buttons, plus an Alarm Toggle button on the side to easily turn your alarm on and off. The whooshing of their mother’s blood, heart and digestive system create a really noisy environment. This model - the Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 - is a fairly basic design that promises to allow you to experience a more regular sleep and wake pattern with a simple plug-in and switch on.
