"She used to come out of her room a hundred times before she fell asleep. First night with one of these stickers, she didn't come out once. It's part of the routine now — she picks her patch, sticks it on her pyjamas, and that's the signal."
A sticker your child chooses, sticks to their pyjamas, and breathes in as they wind down. Each patch releases a slow blend of bedtime essential oils for up to four hours — no melatonin, no tablets, no diffuser to fill or knock over. 24 assorted designs per pack, sealed and ziplocked so the last patch works like the first.
Ingredients +
Lavender, Mandarin, Sweet Marjoram and Vetiver essential oils on a medical-grade adhesive patch. No melatonin, no synthetic fragrance.
How it works +
The patch slowly releases the oil blend into the air near your child as they wear it, giving their body a consistent scent cue that it's time to wind down.
The patch goes on at the start of the routine, not at the end of an argument. Same scent, same cue, every night — so the body learns what comes next.
Falls asleep faster, with less negotiating
Stays asleep — fewer 2am visits
Calmer for anxious sleepers and sleep regressions
Travels in a pocket, works in any bed
Backed by clinicians
Four oils. One cue. Nothing your child swallows.
SleepyPatch uses Lavender and Mandarin to help calm the nervous system and settle the body into sleep — the deep, restorative kind children's brains actually need.

"I like SleepyPatch as a natural option to help make bedtime a little smoother for families. When used consistently, scents like lavender may help signal it's time to start winding down."

What's inside
Every oil is doing one job
01 · Mandarin
The soft landing
Sweet and low-key citrus — the note children reach for first. It takes the edge off the end of the day without waking anyone up.
CalmingKid-approved scent
02 · Lavender
The bedtime signal
The most studied relaxing scent there is, and the one clinicians name when they talk about winding down. Same cue every night is the whole point.
RelaxingRoutine cue
03 · Sweet Marjoram
The tension release
Warm and herbaceous. Traditionally used to settle a restless body — the fidgeting, kicking-the-covers part of bedtime.
SoothingRestlessness
04 · Vetiver
The anchor
Deep, earthy and grounding. It holds the blend down so the scent lasts the full four hours instead of lifting off in ten minutes.
GroundingLong release
Three steps, every night
How to use it
Thirty seconds at the start of the routine. That's the whole thing.
01
Let them pick their patch
24 assorted designs in every pack. Choosing is half of why it works — it makes bedtime theirs.
02
Stick it on pyjamas or the bed frame
Upper chest is best. Medical-grade adhesive, safe on skin and fabric, peels off clean in the morning.
03
Keep it up for 24 nights
The oils work from night one. The routine takes a few weeks — that's why the trial runs 24 nights.
"I've been using these every night on my child and it's part of our night routine. She's falling asleep a lot faster than before and actually stays asleep."
