After some years of international travel, we've found a way to reduce jet lag using intentional sleep/wake timing.<p>We apply patterns used in NTP to gradually guide your body's natural sleep rhythm to the new time zone, all without adding losing precious time at home or at your destination.<p>The general idea is that we apply an 8h leap smear to your body clock. For instance:<p>A flight from LHR → SFO has an 8h time difference. By gradually sleeping in and staying up later over a ~56h period, you can avoid missing out on life on both sides of the flight.<p>What pricing models should we try using for this kind of app?
My wife flies internationally a number of times a year, and I'm sometimes with her. We've been using timeshifter for a couple of years. It's current pricing of 24.99 a year is in an awkward spot where if we _know_ we're only flying internationally _once_ that year, it's expensive, but if there are three trips planned, it seems cheap.<p>I would love to just pay $5 a (round) trip. The price per trip model becomes funky if the user needs to modify their flights at some point.<p>The first time we used Timeshifter it worked so well we knew we needed to always use it.<p>My one gripe with Timeshifter is that is assumes I can keep to it's schedule perfectly. What happens if I couldn't sleep on one of my flights, or had to wake up earlier to catch a train to the airport?
What’s the target market?<p>Holiday makers?<p>People travelling round the world?<p>People emigrating?<p>People travelling for work? CxOs? Salespeople? Rich world managers checking in on offshore manufacturers? Their employers?
How does this compare to the ‘Timeshifter’app?<p>I’ve used this quite successfully a few times on Aus to US/EUR trips in the past, with zero jet lag.
