Jet lag? Leave it behind with this wellness tool

About Entrain

The University of Michigan has developed an app specifically designed to address the challenges faced by travelers, leveraging scientific insights to enhance adaptation and comfort in the face of jet lag. Thanks to extensive data gathered from months of sleep research conducted among frequent travelers, this groundbreaking application will help you regain your equilibrium when arriving in unfamiliar destinations.

Upon downloading the app, the first step is to select your timezone and input your regular bedtime and typical sleep duration. This information serves as the foundation for a customized experience. By automatically providing you with the sunset times at your destination, the app facilitates the seamless adjustment of your sleep patterns even before you touch down in your new surroundings.

Before embarking on your flight, make sure to inform Entrain of your destination. The app will then inform you of the optimal sleep schedule, suggesting when and for how long you should sleep. This proactive approach allows your circadian rhythm to get a head start, enabling a smoother and more gradual adaptation to the new time zone, even before you arrive. Additionally, using this app contributes to the collection of valuable data for further research on sleep cycles and their relationship to travel.

With the University of Michigan's innovative app, you can now conquer jet lag with ease, arriving at your destination well-rested and ready to explore. Embrace this opportunity to improve your travel experiences while assisting researchers in their quest to unravel the mysteries of sleep and its connection to travel-related disruptions
