Writer Jada Jones has tried everything to help her drift off until she found the solution was a natural sleep aid
I’m well aware I’m not alone in finding it difficult to drift off at night, only to face the consequences the following morning when getting up feels like a struggle. Staying up late results in early evening dozing, which leads straight back to more late nights… it feels like a never-ending pattern.
When I discovered there might be a remedy that could help, I leapt at the opportunity to give it a go. The Sleep Time Patches from Kloris caught my attention as they’re designed to promote rest naturally without pharmaceutical intervention – and I’ve always been wary of taking sleeping tablets.
The patches are straightforward to apply – simply position them on a (preferably hair-free) area of your body roughly 30 to 90 minutes before you wish to sleep. They require pressing onto the skin to activate them, and breathing in the lavender aroma is recommended. Your body’s natural warmth then causes the patch to release the ingredients throughout the night to achieve quality sleep, reports the Mirror.
The patches contain various ingredients formulated by a plant scientist for this specific purpose. Among these are valerian, for which research indicates it may help people fall asleep and stay asleep in adults and children with insomnia.
Additionally, passionflower seems to reduce brain activity through the compound gamma-aminobutyric acid, according to certain studies. I’ve experimented with countless remedies to help me drift off, from magnesium supplements, which I found largely ineffective, to sleepy teas (on offer for £2.38, normally £3.49) and Lush bath bombs (£5.50).

The Kloris Sleep Time Patches contain a blend of valerian root, passionflower, Hops, CBD and CBG.
I also cut out caffeine after 11am, and over the past month I’ve been enjoying the best sleep of my life. The Kloris patches are available in three sizes: 12 nights for £16, 30 nights for £36 and 90 nights for £97 – with a discount on offer for subscribers.
This reduces the 30-night pack to £29.52, working out at 99p a night. Shoppers can also grab the patches at 20% off using the code sleeptime20 before May 31, bringing the 30-day box down to £28.80, or 96p-a-day.
Kloris also offer a hassle-free returns policy if customers aren’t sleeping better after 30 nights. Since trying these patches, I’ve noticed a significantly more restful night’s sleep and find it far easier to drag myself out of bed each morning without repeatedly hitting snooze.
They carry a delightful lavender scent that instantly triggers a nostalgic bedtime memory from my childhood. The manufacturers recommend applying them to a different spot each night, and as they’re waterproof, you can stick them on before jumping in the shower or bath.
Personally, I find popping them on after getting out of the bath works best. The patches come with an information sheet advising against consuming caffeine or alcohol before bed, noting that caffeine can remain in your system for up to 12 hours.
It also highlights that blue light can disrupt your sleep, suggesting you limit phone use for 2 hours before bedtime. Like countless others, I’ve struggled to switch off during that period, but I have noticed a general improvement in my sleep quality.
They’re straightforward to remove in the morning, and I wake up feeling well-rested. I’d wholeheartedly recommend these to anyone struggling to nod off — having tried so many remedies, I never imagined I’d find something that actually worked. And at 96p a night, it costs less than a morning coffee to get you going.
I’m not alone in my experience either. The patches have an impressive average rating of 4.42 out of 5 based on 730 reviews. One satisfied customer wrote: “They really work for me! I’ve slept better than I have for years! Thank you!”
However, one shopper did find them a little too potent, suggesting the patches need to be reduced in size to avoid morning grogginess. They wrote: “The patches absolutely help me go to sleep much faster, no doubt about that, but they 100% make me groggy in the mornings. I have started cutting them in half, as I am petite, and I thought the dose might be too strong for me. I am also taking the patch off if I wake up in the middle of the night to avoid feeling groggy in the morning. It’d be great to have different strengths to account for body weight.”
Another reviewer added: “It took a few days to take effect, but I’m consistently getting 7/8 hours of sleep every night now. Only waking briefly 3 or 4 times a night instead of 20 or 30! Feel less foggy in the mornings and clearer headed throughout the day. Will definitely be buying more and would happily recommend.”
