Best time for work calls

If you are scheduling a call between Lagos and New York City, there is very limited or no overlap in normal business hours. Consider early-morning or late-evening calls for one side, or use async communication.

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Lagos and New York City takes a little planning. Lagos is 5 hours ahead of New York City, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Lagos — around 7 pm — which puts New York City at 2 pm. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
