Hatch introduces new Sleep Clock, an alarm clock that tracks your sleep
Hatch launched the Hatch Sleep Clock on Aug. 4. It's an alarm clock and sleep tracker that provides personalized sleep and wake-up routines.
The Hatch Sleep Clock, a new smart alarm clock from Hatch, debuted on August 4. This device distinguishes itself from other smart alarm clocks by being a contactless sleep tracker. Positioned on the bedside table, it employs ultra-low-power radio signals to monitor breathing and movement, eliminating the need for a microphone. The device can track sleep onset, duration, and awakening times throughout the night.
Research indicates the technology behind the Sleep Clock has a 97 percent accuracy rate in detecting sleep patterns.
Unlike traditional wearables such as Whoop or Oura, the Sleep Clock is a standalone unit that sits on your nightstand. Ann Crady Weiss, co-founder and CEO of Hatch, explained that the company aimed to create a product that helps users sleep better rather than merely logging sleep data. "Rather than simply reporting what happened last night, Hatch Sleep Clock gets you to bed tonight," she said in a press release.
The Hatch Sleep Clock integrates sleep monitoring with other features Hatch is known for: immersive light, sleep audio, and personalized routines. To help users establish a bedtime routine, individuals can select their preferred unwinding time. The device then gradually illuminates the room with soothing light and ambient sound, facilitating a smooth transition into sleep.
Users can choose from a variety of sleep experiences, including meditation, sleep stories, and ASMR sounds, which can be paired with light settings designed for optimal sleep.
Upon waking, the Sleep Clock softens the room's lighting and ambient sounds to create a natural waking experience. Instead of harsh alarm sounds, users are greeted with a gentle transition from sleep to wakefulness. The device offers actionable insights based on sleep data, such as reducing screen time before bed or increasing exposure to natural sunlight in the morning. While the device provides sleep stage information, it focuses on offering practical advice to enhance sleep quality over time.
The Sleep Clock comes pre-loaded with a range of sleep routines and experiences. Users can also subscribe to Hatch+ for $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year to access the full library of content.
