About the Jet Lag Calculator

Crossing many meridians beats your circadian rhythm. This Jet Lag Calculator estimates severity from hour difference and flight length, then suggests light and sleep adjustments. Athletes arriving for tournaments, executives on red-eyes, and students on exchange programs plan recovery days. Estimate jet-lag severity with sleep and light exposure guidance.

How to use it

  1. Open the Jet Lag Calculator and enter departure city, destination, and travel date.
  2. Add flight duration, layovers, or airport codes as prompted.
  3. Read arrival local time, body-clock hints, or tower clock at connection.
  4. Adjust plans if layover windows are too tight in airport local time.
  5. Save sleep or recovery notes before you board.

Good to know

Times come from your device clock plus the time zone you pick. After a daylight-saving change, confirm the zone name, not just the city label.
