Description

Reduce jet lag with personalized plans based on the latest sleep and circadian science. Timeshifter creates a plan for every flight and time zone, tailored to your chronotype, sleep pattern, itinerary and personal preferences. Used by NASA astronauts, F1 teams, NBA players, Olympic athletes and frequent travelers - and rated "as good as it's going to get" by The New York Times. - The Wall Street Journal: "Indispensable" - Condé Nast Traveler: "Say goodbye to jet lag" - WIRED: "Will help reset your [circadian] clock" - Travel + Leisure: "Game-changer" WHAT YOU GET Jet lag plans that show exactly when to seek light, when to avoid it, when to sleep and when to nap, and how to use melatonin (optional) and caffeine correctly (optional) - hour by hour. PROVEN RESULTS Based on ~130,000 post-flight surveys: - 96.4% of travelers who followed their plan avoided severe jet lag entirely. - Travelers who ignored the advice were 6.2x more likely to experience severe jet lag - and 14.1x more likely to experience very severe jet lag. YOUR FIRST PLAN IS FREE Your first jet lag plan is free, with no commitment. After your free plan, you can buy plans as you go for US$9.99 per plan, or subscribe for unlimited plans at US$24.99. KEY FEATURES - Circadian Time™: advice timed to your circadian 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 JET LAG MYTHS VS. CIRCADIAN SCIENCE Jet lag cannot be fixed with generic sleep advice, exercise, hydration, dietary supplements, special diets or fasting. None of these reset your circadian clock quickly to a new time zone. Light is the key time cue that resets your circadian clock. Individually-timed light exposure and light avoidance - based on your chronotype, your normal sleep pattern and your itinerary - is the only way to adjust to a new time zone quickly. Get the timing wrong and jet lag gets worse. Getting that timing right is complex and unintuitive, which is why generic advice fails. Timeshifter works as your jet lag calculator and planner, doing that timing for you. WHY WE MADE TIMESHIFTER We built Timeshifter to make circadian science accessible and help you apply it to reduce jet lag. It targets the underlying cause of jet lag - the disruption of your circadian clock - and reduces the symptoms that come with it, including insomnia, daytime sleepiness, fatigue and digestive discomfort. Timeshifter was developed with Dr. Steven W. Lockley, a Harvard Medical School faculty member for over 20 years and former neuroscientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He is an international authority on circadian rhythms and sleep, with more than 30 years of clinical research experience in humans, and works with NASA astronauts and mission controllers, F1 teams, NBA players, national soccer teams and Olympic athletes. Whether you are crossing one time zone or ten, on a long-haul flight or a quick turnaround, Timeshifter gives you a jet lag plan built for that trip.

    This is a fantastic app for practically eliminating jet lag!!I followed it to the letter and had insignificant jet lag going from California to Japan! So amazing and backed by science.
  • Flying West to East usually hits hard

    We flew from Oregon to Italy, 9 time zones. Departed at 6 am (PDT) and arrived GMT +2. We followed Timeshifter’s advice for 3 days prior to our trip as well as we could while trying to live our normal lives. Specifically light exposure, caffeine and suggested bedtimes. Upon arrival I took a 90 minute nap and my husband powered through. Dinner then a 9 pm bedtime. Woke up refreshed and never looked back! I was very pleasantly surprised. Using it for the trip home for sure!
  • Love this app

    I’ve been using this app since 2023, and while I was bummed you have to pay now I still did because it is so helpful when traveling across significant time zones!
  • This works!

    I used the Timeshifter app when flying from the United States to Thailand. Had very little to no jet lag.
  • Best travel advice EVER!

    This app gives very specific advice regarding timing of exposure to light, use of caffeine and sleeping spans so as to avoid jet lag on your time travel…and IT WORKED! It gives you the rationale behind the advice so that you can make great decisions for success! Highly recommended!

    Followed the instructions to the letter and had zero jet lag. I am particularly impressed since it’s flying east from one side of the Pacific to the other. I usually do worse flying east than flying west.
  • Worked like a charm

    First time I didn’t have jet lag on either leg of my journey with a +9 hour time difference. Using a red light panel to optimize bright light was a great help here.
  • It works!

    I used the Timeshifter app on a recent trip from Boston to London. The plan was tailored to my personal sleep/wake habits and was easy to follow. It was presented in a clear, easy to follow manner with simple instructions and information about the science behind the plan. My plan started two days before my departure day and included advice on when to get/avoid sun and light exposure, timing of caffeine and melatonin consumption (both optional) and when to sleep and wake. I followed the plan as closely as I could and it worked very well!! I was slightly drowsy part way through my first day in London, but I stayed outside in the sun and kept busy and didn’t go to bed until 10pm local time. After that day, I was completely “timeshifted” to London time. I will most definitely be using the Timeshifter app for all my future travel across time zones.
  • No dark mode

    It’s rich that an app focused on sleep doesn’t even have an icon that goes into dark mode. Simple lines of code to help our eyes stay less awake. Wild to me.
  • It works!

    I fly from NY to Japan, and or Korea. These are long flights. This app really helps me adjust, so I'm fresh when I arrive. I'll be honest, it can be hard to stick to the plan when you're in a bright airport and it's telling you to avoid light, or there are multiple stop overs. But be as diligfent as you can. It's worth it to avoid that crippling jetlag. Now if I could just remember to do it on the reurn trip! ;-)
