Time Traveler Jet Lag Prevention app for iPhone and iPad

Prevent Jet Lag by shifting your sleep and wake cycle before you travel!

Based on medical recommendations, TimeTraveler assists in the management and prevention of Jet Lag by providing a schedule to synchronize your circadian rhythm (sleep/wake cycle) to your destination.

"Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder among air travelers who rapidly travel across ≥3 time zones. Jet lag occurs as a result of the slow adjustment of the body clock to the destination time. Consequently, the daily rhythms and the internal drive for sleep and wakefulness are out of synchronization with the new environment.

Begin to reset the body clock by shifting the timing of sleep to 1–2 hours later for a few days before traveling westward and shifting the timing of sleep to 1–2 hours earlier for a few days before traveling eastward. It can also be helpful to shift mealtimes to hours that coincide with these changes.

Seek exposure to bright light in the evening if traveling westward, in the morning if traveling eastward (although it requires high motivation and strict compliance with the prescribed light–dark schedules)." ~Centers For Disease Control and Prevention
