Struggling to fall asleep at night is a common problem that many people face, often resulting in a difficult morning and a cycle of late nights and early evening naps. When I heard about a potential solution, I decided to test it. The Sleep Time Patches from Kloris are formulated to support rest naturally without pharmaceuticals, which appealed to me as I have always been hesitant to take sleeping pills.
How the Patches Work
The patches are straightforward to use. Simply place them on a relatively hair-free area of your body about 30 to 90 minutes before bedtime. Press them onto the skin to activate them, and inhale the lavender scent. The body's natural heat then helps deliver the ingredients throughout the night to promote restful sleep.
Inside each patch is a blend of ingredients designed by a plant scientist, including valerian root, which studies suggest can help people fall and stay asleep, and passionflower, which may lower brain activity through the compound gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Other ingredients include hops, CBD, and CBG.
My Experience
I have tried numerous methods to improve my sleep, including magnesium supplements (which did not work for me), sleepy teas, and Lush bath bombs. I also stopped consuming caffeine after 11am. However, over the past month using these patches, I have slept better than ever.
The patches have a pleasant lavender scent that evokes a nostalgic bedtime memory from my childhood. They are waterproof, so you can apply them before showering or bathing, though I prefer putting them on after my bath. The instructions advise against caffeine or alcohol before bed, as caffeine can stay in the system for up to 12 hours, and recommend limiting phone use for two hours before sleep to avoid blue light disruption. While I have not managed to unplug completely, my sleep has still improved significantly.
Removing the patches in the morning is easy, and I feel well-rested. I would definitely recommend these to anyone struggling to fall asleep, especially at a cost of 96p per night, which is cheaper than a morning coffee.
Pricing and Availability
The Kloris Sleep Time Patches come in three sizes: 12 nights for £16, 30 nights for £36, and 90 nights for £97.

Kloris also offers a 30-night trial: if you are not sleeping better, you can return them with no hassle.
Customer Reviews
The patches have an average rating of 4.42 out of 5 from over 730 reviews. One satisfied customer said: "They really work for me! I've slept better than I have for years! Thankyou!"
However, some users found them too effective. One reviewer noted: "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."
Another user shared: "It took a few days to take effect, but I'm consistently getting 7/8 hours 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."
Conclusion
After trying many different solutions, these patches have been a game-changer for me. They are easy to use, affordable, and effective. If you are struggling with sleep, I highly recommend giving them a try.
