About Jet Lag Calculator

Pick where you fly from and to and the travel date. The tool gives the time difference on that date (daylight saving included), whether your body clock has to move earlier (flying east) or later (flying west), roughly how many days adjusting may take, and a gentle plan for moving your bedtime an hour a day before you go.

The recovery figure is a general rule of thumb - about a day per time zone, usually slower after flying east - not a prediction or medical advice. People differ; ask a doctor about sleep aids or melatonin.

How to use it

  1. 1Pick where you are flying from and to, and the travel date.
  2. 2Optionally enter your usual bedtime and waking time.
  3. 3Read the time difference, direction and rough recovery estimate.
  4. 4Follow or adapt the day-by-day plan before you leave.
