What it is

Timeshifter uses itinerary, sleep pattern, chronotype, and personal preferences to create a day-by-day circadian timing plan. Its separate apps address jet lag and shift work, with prompts for light exposure, avoidance, sleep, caffeine, and optional melatonin.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Create a jet-lag plan from a confirmed flight itinerary.
  • Time light exposure and light avoidance before and after travel.
  • Plan sleep and naps around a major time-zone change.
  • Schedule caffeine and optional melatonin prompts.
  • Prepare a shift-work timing plan for recurring nonstandard hours.

Our take

Timeshifter is useful when an executive will follow a plan and the trip has enough lead time to act on it. Add the key timing prompts to the travel brief without exposing health details, and keep arrival-day driving, meetings, and rest expectations realistic.
