Timeshifter Shift Work

Been using for over a year. My work schedule includes multiple shift changes per week and prior to using this app I was never getting the sleep I needed. For many years I was constantly drinking caffeine to stay awake, melatonin to fall asleep. I was never able to maintain a schedule outside of work because I never knew when I was going to be too tired. This app makes it super easy to make changing sleep schedules manageable. I only give it 4 stars because it does not include a good time to exercise.

After you start using this, you won’t go without it. It’s like trying to wake up with an alarm clock, go somewhere without a gps or directions, cook without a recipe. It honestly relieves a lot of stress as you are able to defer / trust something like this and not “have to think about it”. Like anything in life I don’t follow it if I don’t want to, but it’s always helpful to know the guidelines and how far off I am. If this synced up to Apple Watch Fitbit etc and gave me a score for how well I was doing that would be awesome and gamify it

I have been using this app for a number of months now. Initially, you could only put in a few shifts at a time. Now, I can put in a whole month’s schedule without problems. It works similarly to the jet lag app. The interface is the same. I has really helped me plan my sleep and adjustments to the changing shifts that I work throughout the month. I think that I am better rested and more alert during my shifts. I wish this was something that I had when I first started my career.
