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” // New York Times: “The travel industry’s new fix for jet lag” // CNBC: "Saves time and money" // WIRED: "Will help reset your [circadian] clock” // Lonely Planet: "Incredible" // Prevention: “One of the best apps according to doctors” Travelers are constantly bombarded with misguided anecdotal advice from non-experts on how to alleviate jet lag. It's time to replace the myths with tested and validated circadian science. Timeshifter is the leader in circadian technology, uniquely offering the only scientifically-validated advice proven to quickly adjust you to new time zones and alleviate jet lag symptoms. 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 – away from your new time zone – making your jet lag worse. Timeshifter helps you eliminate 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.

    Timeshifter captures a lot of personal information but gives very generic advice about shifting your sleep patterns. This would be fine, I suppose, if it were free beyond the first use. But it’s not, and for the prices they charge, I would expect there to be a lot more functionality. Such as recognition that only the luckiest people in the world can fall asleep the moment they get on an airplane and sleep the entire flight. It would be useful to be able to update the app and tell it how much sleep you actually got and at what time. Why does Timeshifter assume that want the same sleep Schedule on travel as you do at home. And so on.

  • A Must-Have for Travelers

    Timeshifter is a game-changer! The interface is intuitive, and the pop-up notifications make it incredibly easy to use. It truly helped me avoid jet lag on my trip from the USA to Europe and back. I'm so grateful for this app! Highly recommended

  • Helped me with a short work trip across the world

    I had the opportunity to work on a dance production in Seoul, South Korea but it was a very short trip- only 4 days! I was concerned about being sharp and able to work on arrival. I used my first free plan with time shifter and tried to follow its suggestions as best as possible. I’ve had good energy each day I’ve been here and I’ve been able to fall asleep each night. I will absolutely be using Timeshifter again!

  • Timeshifter worked for me!

    I must say, I was skeptical. I traveled from California to Italy, a 9 hour change. I followed the guidelines for when to caffeinate, when to be in light, bright light and darkened conditions, most of the time! 3 days later in Italy, and the time seems normal. Timeshifter app was well worth it, for me.

    I travelled for 12 hours with layovers to Athens. Followed time shift recommendations and I didn’t experienced jet lagged.

  • Shocked by how well this works!

    Okay so I was a skeptic but I’ve used it a couple of times (including when I traveled to Rome from the US for two days only!) and it works really well. It’s a bit hard to follow the recommendations sometimes but it does really work. My friends make fun of me when I’m “time shifting” because I have to wear sunglasses inside at odd times, and I do find it difficult to board the plane and go right to sleep (what?? No movies? No wine??) but honestly it’s so worth it. I really have no jet lag when I follow the recommendations in this app. It’s such a good life hack!

  • I had ZERO jet lag!

    I spent a lot of money on dream vacations this year. I was traveling with a girlfriend to Europe that had the app. She told me what to do and I just followed it. For the first time ever, I had ZERO JETLAG in Europe, and zero jet lag at home. Imagine getting to your destination and feeling great enough to immediately have fun. I downloaded the app to use for my trip to Egypt in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited that I will be able to enjoy Cairo on day one without a headache or being tired.

    I’ve been using Timeshifter for almost a year now. It has changed my travel. I am almost never jet lagged. Very easy instructions built around your travel and sleep schedule. So easy to use. Thank you Timeshifter.

  • Really made a difference!

    Easy to follow, notifications come to your phone/watch without having to check the app. Gives you plenty of advance notice of what you need to do. Used it once and immediately bought the subscription. Very happy.

  • Completely inflexible

    By LosGatosMalos
    I really wanted to love this app. Unfortunately, it is completely inflexible. If your plans change, too bad. You can’t edit anything. I missed my connecting flight in London due to a delayed flight from another country. Instead of being able to modify my itinerary to include my rescheduled flight the following day, there was no way. I could have created a new one from scratch, but that would have been pointless because I just needed to know what to do for one day, not for multiple days leading up to my flight. The other huge issue is that you cannot set real world milestones for the app to work around. For example, on one trip the app suggested I sleep till 6AM. However, my ride was coming to take me to the airport at 6:30AM. Obviously I need more than a half an hour to get up out of bed and get ready for my ride. I want to have a way to tell the app I need to wake up at 5:00AM, not 6:00AM. I think this app would be very useful if you could set real world scenarios. For example. This is my pick up time for the airport. This is a time I am scheduled to go to an event. For me, the app in its present form, with no real world milestones, is essentially useless.
