Frequently asked questions

How bad is the jet lag from Universitäts- und Hansestadt Greifswald to Essen?

Universitäts- und Hansestadt Greifswald and Essen are in the same (or nearly the same) time zone, so you should feel little to no jet lag on this route.

Which direction is worse?

Eastward (advancing your clock) is generally harder than westward (delaying it), because it is easier to stay up late than to force sleep early. This trip is neither — same time zone.

How do I adjust faster?

Shift your sleep by an hour or two toward the destination a few days before you fly, get bright light at the right end of the day (morning light to wake earlier going east; evening light to stay up later going west), avoid alcohol on the flight, and — critically — hold a fixed wake-up time once you land, even if you slept badly. A consistent, unmissable morning alarm is what re-anchors your body clock.

How long before I feel normal in Essen?

Very quickly — there is essentially no time change on this route.

Why people use Captain Wake to wake up on time

Not because it rings louder. Because it removes every way your half-asleep brain talks you back into bed.

There is no button to tap

Swiping an alarm away is a reflex you can perform while still asleep. A mission needs your thinking brain switched on — and once it is on, sinking back under is much harder.

It survives every trick

Force-quit the app, restart the phone, flip it to silent, turn the volume down. The alarm re-arms and keeps going until the mission is actually done.

It gets you physically upright

Photo and barcode missions are anchored to a spot in another room, so the only way to stop the noise is to stand up and walk there. You cannot pre-stage it from bed.

It fixes the night, not just the morning

A sleep forecast before bed, bedtime reminders and wake-up streaks — because the 6 AM problem usually starts at 1 AM.

The fastest way through jet lag is a wake-up time you can't skip.

Captain Wake makes you complete a real-world mission to silence the alarm — so your new schedule sticks from day one.
