About this app

Combat shift work disruption with personalized advice based on the latest circadian science.

This groundbreaking app empowers shift workers to optimize their sleep, performance, health, and quality of life with science-based guidance developed by world-renowned circadian scientists.

Fast Company: “Congratulations Timeshifter on helping to change the world.”

Timeshifter — Shift Work Edition — was developed to help shift workers reduce the underlying problem of circadian and sleep disruption inherent in shift work. With Timeshifter, you will receive highly personalized advice based on your sleep pattern, chronotype, work schedule, and personal preferences.

SHIFT WORK MYTHS VS. CIRCADIAN SCIENCE

Shift workers face a serious biological challenge: misalignment between their internal circadian rhythms and their work schedules. This circadian disruption leads to insomnia, excessive sleepiness, poor performance, and increased long-term health risks.

Popular advice — like drinking more coffee, using supplements, or simply “getting more rest” — misses the mark. These approaches don’t address the root cause: your circadian misalignment.

It’s time to replace the myths with real science.

Generic tips won’t solve circadian disruption. Only evidence-based interventions that "reset" your circadian rhythms and manage circadian timing can effectively reduce the negative effects of shift work.

THE REAL SCIENCE OF SHIFT WORK

// In your brain, a circadian clock regulates the rhythm of your day.
// Shift work causes your sleep and other behaviors to occur at biologically inappropriate times, resulting in fatigue, poor sleep, and long-term health risks.
// Light is the most powerful cue for resetting your circadian clock. The correct timing of light exposure and light avoidance is the foundation of any circadian intervention to improve alertness and sleep quality. If your timing is off, it can make things worse.

WHY SHIFT WORKERS LOVE TIMESHIFTER

// Based on the latest sleep and circadian science
// Optimizes your sleep, alertness, and performance
// Reduces the negative effects of shift work on productivity, health, and quality of life

Using Timeshifter is as simple as taking small actions at specific times.

I've just come off my first 4-night rotation, and can't say enough good about Timeshifter. I have long been focused on the things that support good sleep, so was nervous about how to make it work when rotating between nights and days. This app does all the heavy lifting, and is very easy to use. it's understandably glitchy every so often, but the updates have significantly improved ease of use.

I'm going to start with 2 starts because I feel it has potential. biggest problem is when updating shifts due to being an on server system rather than offline it tends to glitch or fail to update and deletes all existing shifts. I have used it as a mining FIFO (fly in fly out) worker and believe it has huge potential for those required to not only travel alot but for shift work. Would love to be able to rely on the system to update my changes to shift patterns. but it just does not seem to work.

I have been looking for an app like this for shift work and this is great! So many of these apps are geared towards jet lag, but to find one for rotating shift work schedule has been awesome. Pair it with some light therapy and melatonin and you will thank yourself for a big triple threat self care upgrade!
