Not being able to sleep is one of life’s most frustrating, upsetting and downright annoying predicaments. The tossing and turning as a result of a whirring brain makes us more awake than ever and leaves us groggy and grumpy come morning – it doesn’t help if our partners are sleeping soundly next to us, taunting our inability to drift off.
Now, the wellness industry is packed with a myriad of solutions from magnesium supplements to sleepy teas to lavendar sprays to white noise apps and melatonin gummies. But one insomnia-suffering Mirror writer has found a natural solution that trumps them (personally) and leaves her sleeping ‘better than ever’: KLORIS’ Sleep Time Patches.
KLORIS Sleep Time Patches are discreet, melatonin-free overnight patches designed to support a calmer, more restful wind-down. Powered by a natural botanical blend, they offer a simple alternative to pills, droppers and hormone-based sleep aids. Each patch contains a concoction comprising ingredients that reportedly calm brain activity to promote better sleep: valerian root, passionflower, hops, CBD and CBG – and no melatonin (which can sometimes cause next-day drowsiness).

Using them is designed to be pretty easy, peel a patch from the backing and apply it to clean, dry skin – the upper arm, hip or top of the foot are all ideal locations. A subtle lavender aroma is released on activation as the patch is gently pressed into place – perfect for those who love the scent of sleep sprays like This Works’ Sleep Plus Spray, £20.80.
The patch then works gradually throughout the night, providing up to eight to ten hours of continuous support. By morning, it can be removed, with no groggy after-effects often associated with traditional sleep aids.

But does it actually work? Jada Jones tried the patches out for 30 days and had this to say:
“I’ve tried a myriad of things to help me get to sleep from magnesium supplements, which I’ve not found to do much, sleepy teas £2.38 and Lush bath bombs £5.50. I’ve also stopped having caffeine after 11am, but I’ve found this last month I’ve been sleeping better than ever.
“Since getting these patches, I have found that I’ve been having a more restful sleep each night, and it’s easier to get out of bed in the morning without constantly hitting snooze. They have a lavender smell to them, which instantly provokes a nostalgic bedtime memory that reminds me of my childhood.

“They come with a sheet that advises not having caffeine or alcohol before bed, with it stating that caffeine can stay in our system for up to 12 hours. It also points out that blue light can mess up our sleep schedule, which means we should limit our phone use for two hours for bed. I, like so many others, haven’t managed to unplug in that time but I have found my sleep has improved overall.
“They’re easy to take off in the morning and I feel well rested. I would definitely recommend these to anyone struggling to drift off – after trying so many things, I never thought I’d be able to find the solution. And at 96p-a-night it’s cheaper than a coffee to wake me up in the morning.”
The Sleep Patches are available in three pack sizes: 12 nights for £16, 30 nights for £36 and 90 nights for £97. A subscription option offers additional savings, reducing the price of the 30-night pack to £29.52 — equivalent to just 99p per night. And until the end of August, our readers can use the code SLEEPTIME20 to get a further 20% discount, bringing the 30-night pack down to £28.80, or 96p per night.
KLORIS also offers a 30-night trial period. If sleep quality does not improve after 30 nights of use, the patches can be returned under the brand’s satisfaction guarantee.

Jada isn’t the only one who’s been left impressed by KLORIS’ Sleep Patches, as the product has received a rating of 4.42 out of five from over 700 reviews. One former insomniac shared said: “This is the first natural sleep aid I’ve taken that works.
“For years, I’ve taken OTC antihistamines to help me sleep, but these actually work. I drift off to sleep, I wake a couple of times to go to the loo, but easily get off again. It’s a game-changer as I don’t wake up groggy either! Very happy.”
Another noted: “I love these patches, easy to use and I do sleep better after over 25 yrs of poor sleep, my sleep feels more restorative,” while a third remarked: “After a long time of taking over-the-counter sleeping tablets, these patches were a game changer, not only did they help me break the tablet habit but I got better quality sleep!”
While for the most part, users have been pleased with the results, one KLORIS shopper suggested a few changes that would make their experience with the patches ideal. They said: “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 the feeling of grogginess in the morning. It’d be great to have different strengths to account for body weight.”

That said, the reviews have been mostly positive, with many people saying how the patches have ‘transformed’ their sleep. One woman struggling with the menopause said: “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.”
