Tips for resetting your body clock,
with Timeshifter

Tip 1 Light is the most important time cue for resetting your circadian clock. The right light exposure at the right time can significantly accelerate your adaptation. Seeing light at the wrong time of day will make your jet lag worse.

Tip 2 While caffeine can’t reset the circadian clock, it can be a useful tool to help manage jet lag and ensure that you stay awake at the right time to see light. The trick with caffeine is ‘little and often’ to help maintain alertness at the right time while minimising the negative effects of caffeine on sleep.

Tip 3 Neither food or exercise can reset your circadian clock – in fact, the time at which you exercise may also lead you to see light at the wrong time and shift your clock in the wrong direction, making your jet lag worse. So think twice before heading out for that 5am run!
