Tech Tuesday: ENTRAIN Is The App World’s Answer For Jetlag

The Entrain app takes offers jetlag help according to the belief that our bodies’ circadian rhythms depend heavily on lighting.

Staying awake all flight, listening to classical music, and sleeping pills are just some of the many ways travelers try to combat jetlag, a seemingly inevitable side effect of switching time zones. We’ve probably all experienced jetlag at one time or another; its that wired feeling you want to go away during at night, or that process of waking up and realizing it’s 5pm (you missed the whole day) in your new destination. No matter what your specific symptoms are, it’s safe to say that no one likes their sleep cycle disrupted. The Entrain app takes offers jetlag help according to the belief that our bodies’ circadian rhythms depend heavily on lighting.

To keep your transition time to a minimum and your traveling experience as good as it can be, developers and scientists have come together to offer tailored solutions that dramatically reduce the number of days it takes to adjust to a new time zone.

Through the app, travelers can enter their current location and destinations and receive recommendations on how to minimize the effects and duration of jetlag. Entrain will give specific pointers on how much light one should get leading up to a trip, and after. These lighting tips are supposed to help your body adjust better—and quicker—to foreign lands.

So before you decide to curse time zones and surrender to the many painful days of reversed sleeping cycles, try an alternate solution. The Entrain app may just be the cure you’ve been looking for, not to mention give you the much needed days of exploring you don’t wanna miss.
