After crossing time zones, your RISE Energy Schedule and Melatonin Window may not match local time — but that doesn't mean they're wrong. Your Energy Schedule reflects your circadian rhythm, which takes time to shift to a new time zone. This lag is jet lag, and it's normal.
As your body adjusts and you sleep and wake on your new local schedule, RISE will shift your Energy Schedule and Melatonin Window to match. This may take a few days, and you may see inaccurate data or inconsistencies in the meantime.
Will RISE still track my sleep and calculate my sleep debt while traveling?
Yes, RISE continues to estimate your sleep and calculate your sleep debt using the same signals — phone motion and screen activity, plus any wearable data synced through Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android). You can also log or edit sleep manually if needed.
How do I help RISE adjust to a new time zone faster?
Your body needs time to shift to a new time zone — adjusting at a rate of about one day per hour of time zone change. To help RISE reflect that shift sooner, adjust your wake time goal and go to bed earlier or later on your new local schedule. Sleeping and waking consistently at your new local times is the strongest signal RISE uses to recalibrate your Energy Schedule and Melatonin Window.
