The cure for my bad sleep turned out to be a... lamp.
As I uncovered over the next few days, the idea behind the Hatch is to grant its user the power to design a fully customized sleep routine. This customization gets streamlined for you when you pair it with the free app that comes with...frankly, more options than I could’ve predicted. These options fall within three categories: the wind-down, the fall-asleep, and the wake-up.
First, the wind-down, which I now realize is probably the most compromised part of most of our sleep routines. To help it along, the Hatch offers a bounty of light settings and soothing sounds. I picked warm white at 40 percent and the sound of an Alpine waterfall, which my husband tried vetoing—unsuccessfully. If you are a nicer partner than I am, there are about 15 other sounds to find common ground on.
You can set a timer for however long you want to wind down and the Hatch will automatically move into its next phase—the fall-asleep phase—when you’re through. For this, again, the choices are many: including a fade-out light, the sounds of a gurgling brook, or nothing at all. The best part is that if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night and are struggling to fall back asleep, you can tap through to get back to the phase you want, all over again.
Ultimately, the Hatch is what you want it to be. A good-looking alarm clock. A reading light. A white-noise machine. I’ve definitely used the chirping birds sound while working to distract me from overhead planes and jack hammers, aka city sounds. But Hatch is at its best when it’s all those things—and most effective when you and your sleep partner use it together.
Just like anything, the Hatch requires commitment. But if there’s one thing I really love about it, it’s that it has given me a routine around my sleep. In a world where everything is unpredictable and plans are continually disrupted, it’s a constant I could definitely do with. And the one I was clearly missing.
