I tried everything for sleep, and these 96p-a-night patches actually worked. Our writer, who struggled with insomnia, tried magnesium supplements, sleepy teas, and Lush bath bombs before discovering Kloris Sleep Time Patches.
Putting the Patches to the Test
I am certainly 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 chore. Late nights result in early evening dozing, which leads straight back to late nights, creating a never-ending pattern.
When I discovered there might be a remedy to assist, I seized the opportunity to test it. The Sleep Time Patches from Kloris caught my attention as they are designed to encourage rest naturally without pharmaceuticals, and I have always been reluctant to use sleeping tablets.
How the Patches Work
The patches themselves are straightforward to apply. Simply position them on a preferably hairless area of your body approximately 30 to 90 minutes before you wish to sleep. They need to be pressed onto the skin to activate them, with it being advised to breathe in the lavender aroma. The body's natural warmth then enables the patch to release the ingredients throughout the night to achieve quality sleep.
Within the patches are various ingredients created by plant scientists for that purpose. Some of these include valerian, with research indicating it can help individuals fall and remain asleep in adults and children with insomnia. Meanwhile, passionflower seems to reduce brain activity with the compound gamma-aminobutyric acid, some studies suggest.
My Experience
I have experimented with countless remedies to help me nod off, from magnesium supplements, which I found largely ineffective, to sleepy teas costing around £2.50 and Lush bath bombs at £5.50. I also cut out caffeine after 11 am, and over the past month I have 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, though a discount is offered when subscribing. This reduces the 30-night pack to £29.52, working out at just 99p per night. Shoppers can also grab the patches at 20% off using the code sleeptime20 before May 31. This brings the 30-day box down to £28.80, making it 96p per day. Additionally, Kloris offers a 30-night trial, promising a no-quibble return if customers are not sleeping better.
Since trying these patches, I have noticed a considerably more restful night's sleep and find it much easier to rise in the morning without repeatedly hitting snooze. They carry a subtle lavender scent, which immediately triggers a nostalgic bedtime memory from my childhood.
Application Tips and Results
The manufacturer recommends applying them to a different spot each night, and as they are waterproof, you can put them on before jumping in the shower or bath. Personally, I find it preferable to apply them after stepping out of the bath. The patches come with an information sheet advising against consuming caffeine or alcohol before bedtime, noting that caffeine can remain in your system for as long as 12 hours. It also highlights that blue light can disrupt your sleep pattern, suggesting you limit screen time for two hours before bed.
Like many others, I have struggled to switch off during that period, but I have noticed a general improvement in my sleep quality. They are straightforward to remove in the morning, and I wake up feeling refreshed. I would wholeheartedly recommend these to anyone struggling to nod off. Having tried countless remedies, I never imagined I would find something that actually worked. At just 96p per night, it is cheaper than buying a coffee to perk you up in the morning.
Customer Reviews
I am far from alone in my experience. The patches hold an impressive average rating of 4.42 out of 5 from 730 reviews. One satisfied customer wrote: "They really work for me! I have slept better than I have for years! Thank you!"
However, one shopper found them a little too potent, suggesting a smaller dose would prevent morning grogginess. They commented: "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 would be great to have different strengths to account for body weight."
A further reviewer noted: "It took a few days to take effect, but I am consistently getting seven or eight hours of sleep every night now. Only waking briefly three or four 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."
