Jet Lag Planner
Turn an itinerary into destination clocks and a conservative sleep-and-daylight adaptation schedule.
What Is the Jet Lag Planner?
The Jet Lag Planner compares departure and destination clocks for a dated itinerary, identifies eastward or westward travel and creates a conservative pre-trip and arrival schedule for sleep timing, daylight and local-clock adjustment. It uses browser time-zone rules for the entered dates, including daylight-saving transitions.
How It Works
Choose IANA departure and destination zones, enter travel dates and typical sleep times, then review the actual offset change and editable adaptation pace. Use the schedule as a practical planning outline and export it for the trip.
When to Use It
Use it to organize a gradual clock shift for routine travel. It is not medical advice; individual sleep needs, medications, work schedules, health conditions and the exact itinerary can make a generic light or sleep schedule inappropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does It Account For Daylight Saving Time?
- Yes. Offsets are calculated from the selected IANA zones on the entered dates rather than from a fixed city-to-city difference.
- Does It Recommend Melatonin Or Medication?
- No. Medication and supplement advice is outside this planner's scope. Discuss those choices with a qualified clinician.
