Best Meeting Times: SGT and EST

Standard 09:00–17:00 business hours do not overlap between Singapore Standard Time and Eastern Time.

With a 13-hour difference, real-time overlap during standard business hours is not possible. The most common approach is for one team to hold a standing early-morning call (07:00–09:00 local) while the other stays late (17:00–19:00 local). Rotate the sacrifice quarterly to distribute meeting burden fairly.

For zero-overlap corridors, we recommend the Meeting Planner's rotation-fairness feature to distribute meeting burden equitably.

Daylight Saving Time: SGT and EST

SGT — Singapore Standard Time
No DST — fixed offset
Year-round: UTC+08:00

Singapore does not observe DST. SGT (UTC+8) is fixed year-round. Singapore shares its offset with much of Southeast Asia including Malaysia, Philippines, and western Indonesia.

EST — Eastern Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC−05:00
DST (EDT): UTC−04:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-03-08 · back 2026-11-01

The US observes Daylight Saving Time. Clocks spring forward 1 hour on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November. During EDT (UTC−4), the gap to IST narrows by 1 hour.

DST effect on this pair: EST observes DST; SGT does not. During EST's DST period (2026-03-08 – 2026-11-01), the gap between the two zones shifts by 1 hour.
