FAQ
What is the time difference between New York and Singapore?+
Singapore is +12 h from New York, so you travel east.
How long does jet lag last from New York to Singapore?+
Following this plan, your body clock can be fully synced in about 13 days.
What causes jet lag?+
Your internal circadian clock stays on origin time while daylight, meals and social cues follow the destination. Symptoms last until the clock catches up.
Why is flying east harder?+
Going east requires advancing the clock (sleeping earlier), which the body does more slowly — roughly 1 h per day versus 1.5 h per day westbound.
How does light help?+
Light is the strongest signal for the body clock. Light at the right moment shifts it in the direction you need; light at the wrong moment pushes it the wrong way.
Do you recommend melatonin or sleeping pills?+
No. syncjetlag only uses natural levers: light, sleep timing, meals and caffeine. Talk to a doctor about any medication.
What if my trip is shorter than 48 hours?+
It's usually better to stay on your origin schedule. The planner switches to short-stay mode automatically.
