CIRCADIAN SCIENCE Misleading advice on conquering jet lag — often promoted by non-experts — not only fails to help travelers but can make jet lag symptoms worse and may even cause harm. It’s time to replace the myths with real science. Generic sleep advice, exercise, hydration, grounding, dietary supplements, special diets, or fasting won’t solve jet lag because they don’t "reset" your circadian clock to new time zones. THE REAL JET LAG SCIENCE // In your brain, a circadian clock helps manage the regular rhythm of your day. // Jet lag is caused when your sleep/wake and light/dark cycles shift too quickly for your circadian clock to keep up. // Light is the key time cue to “reset” your circadian clock, so the correct timing of light exposure and avoidance is the only way to adjust to new time zones quickly. If your timing is wrong, it will make your jet lag worse. WHY WE MADE TIMESHIFTER Getting the timing right is both complex and unintuitive. We created Timeshifter to make circadian science accessible and help you apply it to conquer jet lag. Timeshifter helps you tackle both the underlying cause of jet lag – the disruption of your circadian clock – as well as reduce the disruptive symptoms, such as insomnia, sleepiness and digestive discomfort.

  It just works!!

  Give this a try. If you stick to the plan it FOR SURE helps! We’ve been on a 6 week adventure trip across 8 time zones with 4 to 13 hour time shifts and it’s really helped up maximize our daytime hours in each location!

  Great app for jet lag

  I used this app for a trip to Portugal and then Hawaii a week later It was very helpful and made a big difference in how I recovered The recommendations were clear and tailored to my preferences I also appreciated that they give you the science behind the suggestions

  Works like magic

  Last year I went on a trip that was an 8 hour delay. The jet lag made me incredibly sick and basically ruined most of my vacation. I told my friend about my experience with jet lag and they recommended this app to me and it actually worked. I used the app 3 days before my trip, followed the schedule to a T, felt silly wearing sunglasses indoors, but it was worth it. When I landed, I was able to adjust almost seamlessly. I will definitely be using this app every time.

  Jet lag

  Hi all ! I’m from the Dominican Republic and I used the app to take a trip to Singapore and HK since it wasn’t a vacación and I had to work I used the app and follow all the instructions! And it worked perfect ! I will recommend it if you are a frequent flyer where you will be more than 5 hours difference from your regular clock

  Minimize Jet Lag

  I have used Timeshifter twice now traveling to Asia and to Europe. I found it to be very helpful in minimizing jet lag. Easy to use, notifications remind you when to sleep, avoid or be in sunlight, use caffeine or melatonin. Both trips enabled me to adjust to the time zones (-10 /+10)

  Such a great app

  A friend who travels internationally for work all of the time recommended Timeshifter before our Europe trip and said he never travels without it. I was excited to try it out if it could even slightly help with jet lag. What stood out to me was the apps emphasis around circadian rhythm and not just giving sleep schedule or travel tips. Working in clinical research, the importance of circadian timing really does matter, so seeing that this app leans into that really made me trust the process. My boyfriend and I both followed the apps plan almost exactly, and it helped sooo much. We felt good from the first day and did not experience any jet lag. Highly recommend this app and will be using whenever traveling across time zones moving forward!

  Needs dark mode

  This really needs to support dark mode. So much of what this app is resolves around sleep and light exposure, but it’s horrible to look at the app in the dark.

• ★★★★★SmilingMamaCarly

  Excellent tool

  This is such a practical and useful tool to help avoid jet lag and maximize holiday and travel time and recovery. I tried it for a trip to the UK and, unlike those I traveled with, I had minimal issues with “time travel”.

  Frequent flyer- this changed the game!

  I fly overseas constantly to visit family and can confidently say this app is a GAME CHANGER, while it can be hard to stick to some of the schedule (late night drinks or early coffee dates not accounted for in the itinerary lol) it definitely lays out some serious ground work. It’s so easy to use (plug in your flight number and it does the rest!) I always thought I’d just figure it out along my travels but with this app that just one less thing I have to think about on my trips. This is the first time in a long time I really wasn’t jet lagged on a trip (a short one mind you, I didn’t have time for jet lag lol) definitely willing to pay for the next trip!

  Arizona to Turkey and back

  I had used this app years ago when I traveled to the UK for the first time and I’m so glad I re-downloaded it for my recent trip to Turkey! I appreciate the reminders as I traveled and it really helped get my body on track with the local time. The first day in Turkey was a little rough but I had a quick midday nap and was good to go after that. On my return trip to the US, I had zero issues with jet lag and was able to jump back into my regular schedule the next day. I’m thankful for this app and recommend it for any travelers!
