Why We Created Hatch Restore

Every day, a million things need your time and energy. Sometimes, it can seem like there’s always one more thing asking you for one more minute, one more thought. When bedtime rolls around, you may feel overloaded, overwhelmed, and overstimulated. The paradox? When you’re dysregulated, sleep is often the first thing to go — but it’s also exactly what you need to take on the challenges of daily life.

At Hatch, we believe sleep is the first step to feeling more like yourself — the most direct on-ramp to calmness, regulation, and balance in your life. Our goal is to help you make more room in your day-to-day for calm, regulating moments that help you get the sleep you need to feel like you again. 

What Is Hatch Restore?  

Hatch Restore is a smart sleep clock that helps you take care of yourself — a gentle way to feel better each day, starting with sleep. More than a white noise machine or night light, Restore helps you calm your nervous system so you can wind down at night and create consistent routines that feel kind, not punishing. 

Light and Sound that Support Healthy Sleep

When you’re “on” all day, you may need a bit of extra help shifting gears toward rest. External stimuli, like light and sound, are one of the most powerful ways to regulate your nervous system. Restore’s calming light and sound options cue your mind and body that it’s safe to pause your responsibilities and actually relax. Dim, warm light at night also helps balance your circadian rhythm by signaling to your body to release the sleep hormone melatonin. 

Instead of relying on stimulation or distraction to fall asleep, light and sound on your Restore create a calmer bridge between a busy day and true rest — supporting relaxation first, with sleep naturally following.

Routines That Create Stability 

Your circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock, thrives on predictable rhythms. Doing the same thing over and over again creates signals that can help your mind and body prepare for sleep, making better rest feel effortless over time. 

Hatch Restore allows you to create repeatable calming moments that help you shift from “go mode” to “rest mode” each night. From soothing sound baths and lighthearted meditations to funny podcasts and bedtime stories — plus grounding, expert-made ambient sounds — Hatch audio helps you unwind your way, night after night. Create a personalized routine with custom audio and light pairings that gently nudge you to sleep without your phone. 

Phone-Free Design 

We get it: When your phone’s nearby, it can feel impossible not to check one more email or watch another TikTok. Hatch Restore allows you to wind down at night without your phone, so you can prioritize self-care without activating blue light or distraction. Once you set up your Unwind Routine, it plays automatically (so you can even put your phone in the other room, but no pressure).  You won’t need your phone in the morning, either: You can set a gentle Sunrise Alarm that gradually wakes you up with gentle-but-energizing light and sound. 

It may take some time, but with consistent self-care to calm your nervous system and predictable sleep routines to support your circadian rhythm, you can feel like yourself again — no matter what life throws your way.
