Like many people, I have a hard time falling asleep at night and waking up in the mornings. Especially with the recent time change, my sleep is completely off, and I have to adjust my routine to the later sunsets.

But one device has actually helped me form better habits for nighttime and morning routines. The Hatch Restore 3 sunrise alarm clock has been a game-changer for me, and it's currently 15% off as part of a National Sleep Week promotion. 

The Hatch Restore 3 was released last year. New features from the previous generation include improved speakers, a new central button that makes it easy to turn things on and off (which is essential when you're half asleep), new Unwind routines to help ease you into bed, and a personalized onboarding experience to identify your sleep challenges. 

Review: This sunrise alarm clock helped improve my sleep routine

The Hatch app's bedtime rituals are noticeably better than the previous version, and there are a lot more routines to choose from. You can pick a meditation, a bedtime story, ASMR, an in-bed stretching sequence, and even a podcast to set the tone for bedtime. By using these routines, I was able to stop scrolling my phone for a good hour before drifting off to sleep. 

In addition, there are also "Morning Moments" which take place after your alarm goes off. This feature ranges from motivational talks to easy meditations, making your wake-up a lot more peaceful than immediately checking your social media pages. 

If you're looking to get better sleep and feel more refreshed in the mornings this spring, I recommend the Hatch Restore 3 as a must-have device. It also makes a great gift for friends or family who are into wellness. 

How I rated this deal

According to ZDNET's deal-rating system, this 15% off deal should be a 2/5, but I rated it a 3/5 since I rarely see the Hatach Restore 3 go on sale — only a couple of times a year. You can pretty much only find it discounted during Prime Day and Black Friday, making this a limited-time Sleep Week deal worth it. 

This deal is part of Hatch's Sleep Week sale, which runs until March 22. You can snag this deal at both Amazon and on Hatch's website.
