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.

  • Great travel aid

    If you travel often and over three time zones, this app does a great job of minimizing/eliminating jet lag. It sometimes seems a little difficult to manage light and dark, but decent blue-blocking sunglasses or clip-in’s for required dark times and bright laptop, computer, or phone will do for bright light even in the darkest night. Makes those long trips soooo much more pleasant. Can’t recommend it strongly enough, particularly if jet lag has gotten worse as you age.
  • Works great!

    I was skeptical at first but after one trip I was hooked. Following the plan timeshifter laid out worked flawlessly. A little bit of yawning here and there, but was able to sleep through the night every night! Well worth the investment.
  • This app WORKS!!!

    I just went to Ireland from the US for the first time last week. I was really nervous to be jet lagged, but my friend suggested downloading this app to help. It DID!! I took 1 nap the day after arrival (45 minutes) but other than that, I felt wonderful! It helped on the way home too. Can’t recommend this app enough 😊
  • Amazing!!!

    I never write reviews for an app but had to for this one. I recently travelled from the west coast of the US to Vietnam for a two week vacation. I was nervous about being jet lagged and missing parts of the trip or being too tired to enjoy them. I put my info in to the app - followed the plan almost exactly and had no significant jet lag there or upon returning to home. I will always use this app for long distance travel and have been telling everyone I know about it. My buddy did the same trip 6 months ago without the app and experienced significant jet leg the first couple days there and for about a week after returning. Simply put - follow the plan and enjoy the trip jet lag free!!!

    I just took my 3rd trip to HI (6 hr time difference from home) and the first time I did NOT have significant jet lag! I’m one of those people who need 9-10 hours of sleep each night and was desperately looking for help when I found the Time Shifter app. It was easy to follow the directions and even though I was off an hour here or there, it still worked. I’ve already told multiple people who know me and my sleep requirements that I was very happy with the outcome and will use this app for all my long trips! Thank you so much!

    Following the Timeshifter schedule faithfully yielded great results, minimal jet lag going east. By the second day, i felt normal. Totally worth the discipline.
  • 9 time zones - zero jet lag!

    I got the app and began my free initial trip. I began my time shift from Oregon to Germany on Tuesday. I was very careful to follow the program faithfully. We flew out to Amsterdam, then Berlin on Friday / Saturday. I had no jet lag at all!! I’ll happily pay for my next trip!!

    I traveled from NYC to Sydney Australia and experienced zero jet lag using this app. I have to admit, it was a bit confusing at first but when I understood the value and importance of light, it made better sense following the app. I’m hoping on the way back it works just as well so we’ll see!
