We’ve all been there: staring at the ceiling, mind racing, aggressively fluffing the pillow for the tenth time. And let’s face it, nothing fuels middle-of-the-night frustration quite like watching our partner sleep like a baby while we face the grim certainty of a foggy tomorrow. It’s exhausting, unfair, and a cycle that’s incredibly hard to break.
Thankfully, the wellness market is flooded with sleep aids—from magnesium supplements and lavender mists to white noise apps and melatonin gummies. But, after exhausting almost every option, one insomnia-prone writer found a natural holy grail that beats them all and has her sleeping ‘better than ever’. Enter KLORIS Sleep Time Patches.
These KLORIS Sleep Time Patches are subtle, melatonin-free overnight patches engineered to help users establish a more tranquil, restorative evening routine. Fuelled by a natural botanical formula, they offer a great alternative to tablets and hormone-dependent sleep remedies.
Each patch features a blend incorporating ingredients that reportedly quieten brain activity (ie, help calm those whirring thoughts) to encourage improved sleep: valerian root, passionflower, hops, CBD and CBG – and no melatonin (which can occasionally trigger morning grogginess), reports the Mirror.
Applying the patches is designed to be straightforward — simply peel one from its backing and press it onto clean, dry skin. The upper arm, hip or top of the foot are all recommended spots.
Upon activation, a gentle lavender scent is released as the patch is pressed into position — ideal for those who enjoy the fragrance of sleep sprays such as This Works’ Sleep Plus Spray, £20.80.
The patch then works steadily throughout the night, delivering up to eight to ten hours of consistent support. Come morning, it can be peeled away without the groggy after-effects commonly associated with conventional sleep aids.
But does it actually work?
Mirror’s Jada Jones put the patches to the test over 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 (£5) and Lush bath bombs,£8. 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. Opting for a subscription brings further savings, cutting the price of the 30-night pack to £29.52 — the equivalent of just 99p per night.
Until the end of August, Express readers can also apply the code SLEEPTIME20 to receive an additional 20% off, reducing the 30-night pack to £28.80, or 96p per night.
KLORIS additionally provides a 30-night trial period. Should sleep quality fail to improve after 30 nights of use, the patches may be returned under the brand’s satisfaction guarantee.
Jada is not the only person to have been impressed by KLORIS’ Sleep Patches, as the product has accrued a rating of 4.42 out of five from more than 700 reviews. One former insomniac 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 user 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 stated: “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 the majority of users have been satisfied with the results, one KLORIS customer proposed several changes that would enhance their experience with the patches. 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 overwhelming majority of reviews have been favourable, with numerous customers claiming the patches have ‘transformed’ their sleep. One woman battling menopausal symptoms remarked: “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.”
