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.

  • Must Have for International Travel

    By theOptimiz3r
    I will say as someone who travels frequently enough internationally this app has been amazing. It is so helpful to have something based on science to provide tips and recommendations related to sleep. I more often than not end up with little to no jet lag when I follow the tips.
  • This really works!

    I travel globally across time zones quite often. I was “winging it” depending on how I felt and trying so many different routines. I thought I was doing ok, until I tried Timeshiffer. I had no idea that I could virtually eliminate jet lag. It’s like putting on glasses and realizing you can see again. This is a must for any traveler.
  • Surprisingly good results

    I was a bit skeptical of the effectiveness of this app, but a relative recommended it. The fact that it lets you use if for free for one trip is a great way to decide if its for you. My family traveled to Japan from the East coast USA. Timeshifter guided us through the preparation and transition to Tokyo time, including a 36 hour layover in San Francisco. In the end, we all remarked that we arrived feeling pretty good, with very little jet lag effects. Our first day, we met some work colleagues here, and the first question everyone asked as "how's the jet lag". LOL! Everyone was surprised and impressed when we told them about timeshifter. I'll be upgrading to a paid plan for all my business travel in the future!
  • If you follow it will happen

    It is great that you can adjust if there is a change on your flight times, easy to do and worth it. Didn’t have any jet lag, this was an 8 hour difference that made it like there was none.
  • This totally works!

    I just used this app on my way to Venice. I have gone to Europe several times because my best friend lives in France and have always been affected by jet lag. But, this time, using the app, I did not have any jet lag. I will purchase this app for my trip next year. My husband used it last year to travel and said it was amazing. He is right!!
  • Absolutely works

    Amazing. Truly. I followed the instructions just as the app directed, and the result was incredible. Little to no disturbance of sleep and just an easy transition to my new environment. I used sunglasses and avoided light exactly as suggested, I even used a light box when I didn't have exposure to sunlight in the later evening hours. It really paid off. I will be using this for all future international flights, it was a game changer.
  • Excellent app for preventing jet lag

    I flew 26 hours to Japan & was very concerned that my sleep schedule would be totally out of whack. I wanted to be fresh when I arrived to visit our new grandbaby! I followed the app’s directions completely and felt perfect when I arrived! Not a hint of jet lag! It really works! I carried a very dark eye mask with me for sleeping if it was light out. I believe the light exposure or lack of it, as directed by the app, was a key factor! Highly recommend!

    I followed the recommendations exactly on our trip from Dallas to London. Although I only got 1 hour and 46 minutes of sleep on the flight over to London, I felt completely normal and had a great 1st day of our trip. I will definitely be using this again for another trip with big time differences.

    I tried the TimeShifter free trial on our June trip from Atlanta to London. We flew from Atlanta to Toronto, then to Heathrow. The leg from Toronto to Heathrow started at midnight and we arrived close to noon the next day. My TimeShifter program told me when to wear sunglasses, when to nap a bit, when to have caffeine (airport coffee for me), and told me to stay up all night for the overseas leg. Although I’m sure I got a few strange looks wearing sunglasses indoors at 10pm in the Toronto airport, it did the job of reducing my exposure to light, which is evidently the major thing you do to prevent jet lag. We traveled to Toronto on Wednesday, arrived in London midday on Thursday, and I didn’t sleep until Thursday night but I did not feel tired because I was still having coffee at intervals. I slept well Thursday night and woke up Friday at a normal wake-up time, feeling perfectly fine. It did not work as well going home but that was because I did not follow the program as carefully. I will do better next time. But it was nice to get on our cruise ship that weekend feeling well rested and acclimated to the time difference.

    I used Timeshifter for the first time to a trip to Europe. This was the first trip I was able to adjust to the time quickly and had little jet lag. I would recommend this app to anyone looking to travel!
