How to timeshift
The key to quick adaptation is light
Light is the most important time cue for shifting your circadian clock, so try your best to follow the light exposure and light avoidance advice.
You can avoid light anywhere
If Timeshifter tells you to avoid light, but you’re outside or in a brightly lit room, just put on your favorite dark sunglasses.
You can get exposed
to light anywhere
If Timeshifter tells you to see light when you’re in a dark place, just turn on any available lights and make sure to increase the brightness to a maximum.
If you can’t sleep, just stay in the dark
If Timeshifter suggests you sleep or nap, but you can’t sleep the whole time, just put on your sleep mask or dark sunglasses to avoid light.
Follow the advice as much as possible
Don't worry, we will tell you exactly what to do and when to do it. You don't have to do everything perfectly, but the more you do, the more benefits you are going to experience.
What you need
Always bring the below items with you on trips (and in your carry-on bag).
A comfortable sleep mask
Your favorite dark sunglasses
Melatonin (if you choose to use it): Please ask your doctor about its safety, side effects, drug interactions, and warnings, and “ground test” it at home before using it on a plane. Only buy the type and dosage recommended in the app.
We are always by your side
