For many people, the most challenging part of the day isn’t work, the school run, or the feeling of falling behind. It is the moment the lights go out and it’s time to settle down for the night.
All too often, the mind struggles to quieten down at the end of the day, even when the body is utterly exhausted. There is no shortage of products on the market designed to aid sleep, from melatonin gummies and magnesium supplements to white noise apps and pillow sprays.
While these may prove effective for some, regular users of such remedies may find the benefits diminish over time. As an alternative, sleep patches have been steadily growing in popularity, particularly those from Kloris.
Its Sleep Time Patches are melatonin-free and formulated to encourage a more relaxed wind-down using an entirely natural botanical blend. A pack of 30 patches is priced at £36, though shoppers can opt for the subscribe-and-save option, reducing the cost to £29.52 – working out at 99p per night.
To use, simply peel one Sleep Time patch from its backing and apply it to clean, dry skin. Kloris recommends placing it on areas such as the upper arm, the hip, or the top of the foot. Each patch lasts between 8-10 hours, ‘leaving no groggy morning after-effects’, Kloris promises, reports the Mirror.
Every Sleep Time Patch contains a blend of ingredients including valerian root, passionflower, hops, CBD and CBG. Lavender-scented and waterproof, they can even be worn in the shower or bath.
Another well-regarded option is the Deep Pillow Spray from This Works. The calming vegan spray features notes of lavender, chamomile and vetiver, and is priced at £25.
In a similar vein, Lush’s Sleepy Body Spray (£28) promises to ease users into a restful slumber with notes of tonka, lavender and ylang ylang. Simply spritz onto body and clothes before bed.
Kloris’ Sleep Time Patches boast an outstanding rating based on over 700 customer reviews. One satisfied customer said: “I was given a few patches by my daughter to try as I was having trouble getting a decent sleep. I would wake around 2am and be awake for an hour or two. The first night with the patch, I briefly woke and then went straight back to sleep. I was totally amazed to have had a really good, deep sleep.”
They continued: “There are no after effects, and you don’t feel sluggish as you start your day. When I ran out, unfortunately, I went back to the old pattern of broken sleep. I decided to make my own purchase. I have slept like a baby for the past two weeks. Long may it last. I’m so happy to have found this product. Thank you, Kloris.”
Another satisfied customer remarked: “These have been a game-changer in terms of how quickly I am able to fall asleep – after several years of difficulty.”
One individual, who had been using them for three months, said: “They have definitely helped me, especially getting off to sleep. I’m a terrible sleeper, and it usually takes me a couple of hours to fall asleep, but most nights I fall asleep within 10-20 minutes.”
One reviewer deducted two stars owing to the patch design, explaining: “The patches improve my sleep, but getting the patches from the paper slips is very, very difficult. Better system needed.”
A fifth purchaser of the Kloris Sleep Time Patches had a better experience, stating: “My bedtime saviour. My patches send me off to sleep like a baby. Your products are my salvation. Thank you.”
Another buyer added: “Honestly, I have tried everything as a perimenopausal woman – I have been using these for ten days and literally gone from waking every hour to sleeping through the night and waking for the first time around 5.30 but able to settle straight back down again. I am hoping this continues as I am currently so grateful to have found these patches.”
