Show HN: Fight Jet Lag with Science-Based Travel Protocols (fightjetlag.fyi)

I built FightJetLag.fyi to help travelers reduce jet lag and feel functional faster.

Huge fan of the sleep research and functional performance research and wanted to ensure everyone has the opportunity to understand Jet lag and plan for it!

You enter your travel details (current location, destination, date/time of travel), and it generates a tailored protocol to minimize jet lag. The suggestions are split into:

-Before Travel -During Travel -After Travel

The advice is based on sleep, nutrition, light exposure, and other science-backed strategies. You can also choose different levels of aggressiveness: mild, medium, or aggressive approaches depending on how seriously you want to tackle jet lag.

It's designed for anyone: frequent flyers, business travelers, athletes, or casual vacationers.

I’d love feedback on the site, the protocols, or any ideas to improve it. Does this solve a problem you've faced?

Try it out https://www.fightjetlag.fyi/ — and let me know what you think!

Cheers!

I was hoping for a lot more detailed advice given all the information I entered. For example, should I be going to bed earlier or later? For a big shift, give me suggested bedtimes (within reason) for a couple days leading up to travel. If I’m arriving at my destination during the daytime, should I try to spend some time outside? Should I sleep on the plane? At the beginning or end of the flight?

Finally, the intermittent fasting and keto diet suggestions demolish any credibility the site has. Even if it’s a valid technique, it seems too on trend to be taken seriously. You know that friend who recommends CBD for every ailment? Same deal.

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate you for taking the time.

Honestly, this is my first real project - I couldn't get the time shift done accurately. That's why i had to fall back to a more static situation. Definitely will consider for future iterations.

I'll fix the fasting / keto diet suggestions. Fair enough - overdosed a bit too much on bryan johnson i guess
