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.
Dark sunglasses
These are invaluable when Timeshifter advises you to "avoid light" while you're outside or in a brightly lit room. They're also helpful during times when you're instructed to sleep but may find it challenging to do so for the full recommended period. See our guide to the best sunglasses for timeshifting.
Sleep mask
A sleep mask blocks light at the source — making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're in a new environment, on a flight, or in a room without blackout curtains. See our guide to the best sleep mask for timeshifting.
Melatonin (optional)
Melatonin can be a powerful tool when used correctly — but the type, dose, and timing all matter. Read our guides on melatonin for jet lag and melatonin for shift work for the full picture, and always check with your doctor about safety, side effects, interactions, and warnings before using it.
