Rare NMTraveller Posted March 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I was just wondering if anybody has tried the Timeshifter app and if you liked it or not. It is to minimize jet lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted March 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Nothing you can't do on your own, if that is your chosen approach to jet lag. Personally, I have other techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll share mine and it works very well for me...but it may not for others. Everyone seems to be a bit different. I don't have the luxury of adjusting my schedule by an hour each day because (a) I just have too much to do in my daily life, and (b) I pop longhaul flights like other people pop candy so I would ALWAYS be changing my time, but here's what I do: Day of departure - wake up at normal time, get as much exercise/activity and daylight as possible, drink plenty of water, and take the latest possible flight. On the flight - If it's an overnight flight or a 12+ hour flight, try to sleep as much as possible. A lot of people say not to drink alcohol because of dehydration, which is valid, but I enjoy watching movies and having some drinks on the flight so I just drink more water in exchange. I do avoid caffeine (even tea). Upon arrival - just.keep.going. Get exercise, get activity, keep busy, get sunlight. Try to adjust your meal times immediately as this really helps your brain adjust to what is "right". I also try to stay up until at least 9pm or so, or whatever is "normal" to you. I also have a few drinks during/after dinner to start getting me relaxed. Get as much sleep as you can, and try to sleep in if possible, even if just a little. And again, keep your meals at "normal" times. This allows me to adjust almost immediately to any time zone. Like I said, it works for me, but may not work for others. It often takes several trips to find out what works best for you. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
