The best time to call from EST to CST
If you are in EST and would like to contact or set up meetings in CST, you will have to work outside of your typical work hours as the work hours do not overlap due to the large time difference.
Therefore, those in EST will have to make arrangements between 8:00pm and 5:00am because these are the typical, 9:00am to 6:00pm, working hours for those in CST.
Those in CST on the other hand, looking to contact those in EST, will find it best to schedule meetings between 10:00pm and 7:00am as that is when they will most likely be at work as well.
Quickly and easily compare or convert EST time to CST time, or the other way around, with the help of this time converter. Below, you can see the complete table of the conversions between EST and CST.
