LA Time: The Land of Eternal Sunshine and Delayed Gratification
Los Angeles, the city of dreams, is also the city of "it's not even noon yet." That's right, while you're probably nursing your third cup of coffee, our West Coast comrades are just waking up to the glorious Californian sunshine. It's like they've discovered the fountain of youth, but for daytime.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
How far behind is LA time? Well, it depends. During Standard Time, LA is 3 hours behind the East Coast. But then Daylight Saving Time rolls around, and suddenly it's only 2 hours difference. It's like a never-ending game of catch-up.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
The Perils of Planning a Transcontinental Call

LA Time: A Blessing or a Curse?
On one hand, LA time means you can binge-watch your favorite shows without feeling guilty about staying up late. On the other hand, it's a constant reminder that you're missing out on all the fun. But hey, at least you can pretend you're living a glamorous Hollywood life while you're waiting for your friends to wake up.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
So, what's the verdict? Is LA time a blessing or a curse? Well, that depends on whether you're a night owl or an early bird. But one thing's for sure: it's definitely something to ponder while you're waiting for your West Coast friends to reply to your text.
How To Conquer LA Time
- How to calculate the time difference: Subtract 3 hours from East Coast time for Standard Time, and 2 hours for Daylight Saving Time.
- How to schedule a call: Use a time zone converter to find the overlap between your schedules.
- How to avoid jet lag: Drink plenty of water, get some sleep before your flight, and adjust your watch as soon as you land.
- How to embrace the time difference: Use the extra hours to sleep in, relax, or catch up on your favorite shows.
- How to stay sane: Remember, it's just time. And time, as they say, heals all wounds.
