What you need

To maximize the effectiveness of Timeshifter, having the right tools can make a significant difference. Here are the essentials we recommend for successful timeshifting.

Sunglasses

Dark sunglasses

Dark sunglasses are invaluable when Timeshifter advises you to “avoid light” while outdoors or in bright environments, or when you need to sleep but can’t for the full recommended period. See our guide to the best sunglasses for timeshifting.

Sleep mask

Sleep mask

A sleep mask blocks light at the source, making it easier to fall and stay asleep when Timeshifter advises you to sleep or nap. See our guide to the best sleep mask for timeshifting.

Melatonin

Melatonin (optional)

Melatonin can be highly effective when used correctly — but type, dose, and timing all matter. Read our guides on melatonin for jet lag and melatonin for shift work to learn more, and always check with your doctor about safety, side effects, interactions, and warnings before use.
