Hatch has unveiled its latest sleep innovation with the introduction of the Hatch Sleep Clock, a bedside device that combines traditional alarm clock features with contactless sleep tracking capabilities. Priced at $249.99, the device is currently available exclusively through Hatch’s website, with plans to expand to other retailers including Amazon later this year.
Unlike wearable trackers such as Whoop or Oura rings, the Hatch Sleep Clock operates from your nightstand using ultra-low-power radio signals to monitor breathing patterns and movement without requiring a microphone. The device can detect when you enter bed, fall asleep, and experience nighttime awakenings, with research indicating the technology achieves 97 percent accuracy in sleep detection. Beyond tracking metrics, the device provides actionable recommendations to improve sleep quality, such as reducing evening screen time or increasing morning sunlight exposure.
The device integrates lighting and audio features designed to support better sleep habits. Users can establish a wind-down routine by selecting from various experiences including meditation, sleep stories, and ambient sounds paired with customized lighting. When morning arrives, the clock gradually brightens the room to create a gentler awakening experience. An optional Hatch+ subscription, available at $5.99 monthly or $59.99 annually, grants access to an expanded library of sleep routines and experiences.
According to Hatch’s co-founder and CEO Ann Crady Weiss, the company prioritized helping users achieve better sleep rather than simply tracking sleep data. The Sleep Clock represents this philosophy by focusing on preparing users for quality sleep tonight rather than merely reporting on previous nights’ rest.
