That said, if you find the preset brightness is too intense, or not bright enough, you can adjust it.
I love that I wake up to light rather than a blaring phone alarm. Not only do I like sunrise alarms, I swear by the Hatch Restore 2. (I tested a few sunrise alarms years ago, and concluded they simply didn’t work for me.) Now, I’m transformed. What’s more, the Hatch Restore 2’s sunrise alarm reliably rouses me before the clock’s built-in alarm chimes, which is impressive considering light never woke me in the past. I entirely underestimated the difference it would make, but the light has massively improved my morning experience. It eases me from sleep into wakefulness, and makes me feel refreshed from the moment my eyes open through the rest of my day. The gentle illumination of the Hatch Restore 2 has done away with my dark and stressful mornings.
