As new polling highlights children's sleep challenges, NatPat has announced SleepyPatch, a natural wellness sticker designed to support calmer, healthier bedtime routines without medication. The sticker uses a blend of essential oils to promote relaxation, helping families incorporate gentle sleep support into their evening routines.

According to the National Sleep Foundation's 2026 Sleep in America® Poll, nearly 44% of U.S. children do not consistently get the recommended amount of sleep for their age. Earlier pediatric research published through PubMed Central also found that 32.4% of school-aged children experience bedtime resistance, while 29.4% have difficulty falling asleep, underscoring the importance of healthy bedtime habits.
NatPat says SleepyPatch was created for parents looking for a natural way to support those routines. Suitable for children aged two and older, the sticker is infused with a blend of mandarin, lavender, sweet marjoram, and vetiver essential oils formulated to promote relaxation without melatonin or other medicinal ingredients. Since the product relies on aromatherapy, it also avoids the morning grogginess often associated with some sleep aids.
The sticker forms part of a simple bedtime routine. Parents apply a SleepyPatch to their child's pajamas, pillowcase, or bed frame around 30 minutes before bedtime, allowing the product's proprietary nanomaterial to gradually diffuse essential oil molecules throughout the night. NatPat says the controlled release technology continues working for up to eight to ten hours, providing consistent aroma diffusion while children sleep.
"Bedtime routines play an important role in helping children settle for the night," a company representative said. "We developed SleepyPatch to give parents a simple, natural option that supports relaxation while fitting easily into the routines families already have."
SleepyPatch is available in packs of 24 patches, each sealed in resealable bags to maintain freshness for up to six months after opening.
Founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 2020 by three fathers—Michael Jankie, Gary Tramer, and Andrei Safonau—NatPat has grown to sell more than 1.5 million packs of wellness stickers across 32 countries through retail partners including Target USA and direct-to-consumer channels. The company's focus on natural, chemical-free wellness solutions has positioned the brand as a resource for parents seeking alternatives to synthetic products.
