POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — A new sunrise alarm clock from Hatch is redefining the way people approach sleep tracking without requiring them to wear a device. The product combines soothing wake-up experiences with advanced sleep monitoring, making it an appealing option for those seeking a less intrusive method of tracking their rest.

The trend of “sleep-maxxing” has seen a surge in popularity, with nearly half of Americans using a sleep-tracking device in 2025, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. For individuals who prefer not to wear trackers, options have been limited—until now. Hatch’s latest offering aims to fill that gap by using micro-movement and breathing pattern detection to monitor sleep from the nightstand, achieving 97% accuracy, according to the company.

The device features a sleek design and offers customizable sleep schedules, including a “turndown service” that activates calming lights and sounds to help users wind down. It also allows for playing ambient sounds or meditative content during the night, which can enhance sleep quality. While it doesn’t provide detailed sleep scores like some competitors, it focuses on optimizing sleep routines and reducing nighttime awakenings. Despite its higher price compared to previous models, many find it worth the investment for its ease of use and non-intrusive design.
