Time zones and jet lag

SINAsia/Singapore — UTC+8 now; UTC+8 all year (no daylight saving time)
DELAsia/Kolkata — UTC+5:30 now; UTC+5:30 all year (no daylight saving time)
DifferenceDelhi is 2 h 30 min behind Singapore today.

Jet lag, flying SIN → DEL. Your body clock has to move 2 h 30 min later, like a westward trip. A common rule of thumb is that the body clock adjusts by roughly one time zone a day, so expect up to about 3 days to fully adjust. Shifting later (as here) is usually the easier direction; evening daylight at the destination helps. Flying the other way, the shift is reversed.
