Description

Create highly personalized jet lag plans based on your chronotype, sleep pattern, itinerary, and personal preferences. // Condé Nast Traveler: “Say goodbye to jet lag” // The Wall Street Journal: "Indispensable" // Travel + Leisure: “Game-changer” Travelers are constantly bombarded with bad advice from non-experts and false product claims, resulting in many persistent misconceptions about jet lag and how to alleviate it. It's time to replace the myths with real circadian science: In your brain, you have a 24-hour circadian clock that regulates nearly all of your biological functions. Jet lag is caused when your sleep/wake and light/dark cycle shift too quickly for your circadian clock to keep up. The only way to reduce jet lag quickly is by shifting your circadian clock to the new time zone. Light is the most important time cue for “shifting” your circadian clock. Light exposure and avoidance, at the right time, will significantly accelerate your adaptation. Seeing or avoiding light at the wrong time — as often recommended by non-experts — will shift your circadian clock the wrong way making your jet lag worse. Timeshifter will help you reduce jet lag by addressing the underlying cause – the disruption of your circadian clock – as well as alleviate the disruptive symptoms, such as insomnia, sleepiness and digestive discomfort. All the features you need: Circadian Time™: Advice is based on your body’s clock Practicality Filter™: Adjusts advice to the "real world" Quick Turnaround®: Automatically detects short trips Pre-travel advice: Start adjusting before departure Push notifications: View advice without opening the app Timeshifter’s benefits are well established. Based on ~130,000 post-flight surveys, 96.4% of the travelers who followed Timeshifter's advice did not struggle with severe or very severe jet lag. When NOT following the advice, there was a 6.2x increase in severe or very severe jet lag, and a 14.1x increase in very severe jet lag. Your first plan is free. After your free plan, purchase individual plans as-you-go or subscribe for unlimited plans. Timeshifter is a paid service.

  • Makes a huge difference!

    I’m astonished at how much following this simple plan minimized any jet lag I normally experience just by making a few tweaks to my sleep schedule leading up to, during and post travel. Depending on how many time zones I’ve crossed, it can take me up to 2 weeks to recover from miserable jet lag- I followed the suggested plan about 95% of the time (wasn’t able to go to sleep on time during my flight because of meal times) and was able to recover in a about 2 days. Will definitely be using for my next long haul trip.
  • It Works!

    I tried Timeshifter on my most recent trip to south east asia which is a 13 hour offset from my local Time. I had previously traveled to China and had pretty bad jet lag on first couple of days of that trip and wanted to try to avoid that happening again. I was pretty careful in following the plan in the app and am happy to say that things went so much better on this trip. I had very little jet lag and was and was able to do everything I had planned from the time I arrived. I will definitely be using Timeshifter more in the future.
  • So glad we tried it

    My husband and I tried Timeshifter for the first time for our trip from US to India (9.5 hour time difference). We followed the plan and arrived with zero jet lag. We couldn’t believe how normal we felt, which was wonderful given our trip was less than a week. Astonished at how simple and effective it was!
  • Great app!

    By Wonderful useful tool!
    Really helped us both focus on shifting our time to avoid jet lag! Best if you don’t have a super packed schedule so you can stick to the sleep schedule after you arrive at your destination and right before you head home!
  • Works!

    We were skeptical at first, but after trips to Rome and Kenya this year, this app really works and is pretty simple to follow.

    Excellent app. Works in avoiding jet lag. Have used for Tokyo and India from west coast. Does not allow modification of flight after plan in progress. Tech support was excellent in deleting plan and allowing new one. Hopefully in future version, flight plan can be modified even after trip in progress.

    If you save for a vacation it is painful to lose the first few days to the fog of jet lag. My experience traveling from the US to Europe is that following the easy non intrusive instructions starting a couple of days in advance of travel has been very effective and more than worth it.
  • Really helps!!

    I used to live overseas so have tried a lot of things to help combat leg lag with minimal results. We had a 10 day trip to New Zealand so I tried at the suggestion of a friend who travels to Asia frequently. It made a huge difference and I was able to do things the afternoon we landed. I will be using again!!
  • Love it

    We have used this for two trips now and had insignificant jet lag both times. Great job utilizing the flight times and taking your preferences into account. Worth the investment!
