I say 10 am. Then again, I'm not a morning person.
When's the earliest in the morning that someone should be able to call you?

Anytime for an emergency, 8 or 9 if it's important . . . otherwise 10.

9 a.m. But I'm not a morning person AT ALL. Chances are if you call or text me before 9, I won't answer.

I am up by 8 most days, but I still think it is pretty rude to call before 9am... especially if you are not family.

I dislike seeing anyone except immediate family ( which I count as my husband, children, or my parents ) or very close family friends before 10. I'm not a morning person and those are the people who I don't mind letting them see me at my grumpiest because they're usually used to it!

Our family can call whenever, but they know we're in bed early and up early, by 6 am. I try not to call anyone outside of family before 9?

On a weekend, 9 or 10-- but 10 really. Weekday 9.
I have noticed some moms (ahem, my sister) forget that non parents can still sleep past 7 on weekends. But she only calls if my nephew wants to talk to me so it's ok.
I won't call anyone bf 10 unless I know they would be up.

Haha, assuming it isnt an emergency..um noon? But I work and am on call evenings, so that factors into things.

10. I am not in the mood to chat before then. I had a wrong number call at 3 am a couple of weekends ago! I was so mad!

9am - anything before, even though i am usually up, will make me grouchy.

Workday- 8:30 (I really hate being called before then when I'm rushing to get ready, I am NOT a morning person).
Weekend- I'm a zombie and not alive until 10:30, do not call me unless the house is on fire.
I don't call you at 1:30 a.m. before I go to bed, so pleeeease don't call me at 6:30 when you get up.

All I care about is not calling during first nap. So before 9:30-10am.

Anytime for an emergency/something urgent. After 7 am is fine with me during the week, after 8 on the weekends.

My family 8 am on a work day, and 10 am on the weekend. In reality I get calls at 7 am any day.
For work I would if my first call came at 10 am; any time earlier means I am driving or will now become late for my first scheduled appointment.

As a general rule I never call anyone before 9am.
But someone could call me around 8am.

If I'm at work 8:15-8:30. My mom and I talk on the way to work everyday at about 7. On the weekend I don't really want to talk to anyone before 10:30 or 11, ha!

If its work calling they can call as early as 630am on week days. I do transportation in the am so I prefer knowing about changes earlier. If its my mom 8am during week days & 10am on weekends. Anyone else is free to call between 8am & 9pm but after that my phone is on silent.

I typically think if its not your best friend or family that you should not call before 9:30, however I work in social services and have a heck of a time trying to get some of my clients to call back, so for those gems I make a special early call just to try and catch them/ wake their lazy butts up!

I agree with the 10 AM time. Even if I am up before then, I really don't want to talk to anyone.

Anytime if it's an emergency, but I had the previous owners of our house call at 9am to check if they had mail and I was not thrilled, as LO was still sleeping which means so was I. I say 10am.

My realtor and I learned that 7 am was the perfect time for calls

I go by the general rule 9am-9pm is acceptable to call anyone, but this can vary depending on the friend and their schedule.
