With StopJetLag you can experience the most comprehensive and accurate means of beating jet lag, even for difficult flight times or complex multi-stop itineraries.
"Dealing with jet lag is a complex problem. I tried for many years to come up with rules of thumb for dealing with jet lag by incorporating each and every one of the scientifically proven body clock re-setters (zeitgebers) and finally realized that either I had to analyze every trip for sleep deprivation (an impossible task given the unlimited number of possible flight itineraries) or co-author an expert system computer program to make such knowledge available to all travelers."
comments Dr. Ehret on the reason StopJetLag is necessary.
"After writing 'Overcoming Jet Lag' and then our first attempts at producing a computer program, I realized that a set of simplified rules could not address the complexities, especially the importance of the interaction of flight times. Fortunately, by using a computer and the expert system software, StopJetLag, we are now able to quickly determine the best jet lag avoidance scenario for any flight schedule, and we have the ability to incorporate any valuable new research into the program as soon as it comes available."
"It's like facing the challenge of how you efficiently and effectively synthesize all of the information you need to fly a plane. Do you only use a flight manual or do you depend on the collective experience of the flight crew and the sophisticated intelligence of the on-board computer? If it's up to me, I would go every time with the experience and collective wisdom of the flight crew and the power of the state of the art computer system. It's the same with StopJetLag!"
The program performs all the necessary calculations to produce a custom StopJetLag plan that takes into account the particular requirements of each trip and also your personal sleeping and eating habits.
"I'm very excited about StopJetLag", comments Dr. Ehret, "it has the ability to analyze each trip and prepare an accurate set of instructions in only seconds. The program is able to identify and then select the optimum times during the schedule when 'core sleep' may be possible and then keys the rest of the prescribed routine to that optimum sleep schedule. The recommendations can even be fine-tuned to prepare travelers for a specific meeting scheduled during their trip! StopJetLag represents an extraordinary achievement in applied research."
