Calling early and late. How early is too early in the morning to call someone? How late is too late at night? What's the proper etiquette if you accidentally awaken someone?

this is very subjective. normally i will call my friends after 10am and before 11pm. in malaysia, most of us does not have a fixed time for dinner as some family might eat out or might even have their dinner individually, therefore, there's no specific time to avoid calling. if i accidentally awaken someone, i would apologise and inform them that i will call them back later.

Sounds like a good policy for here except I don't think I'd call after 10pm, just because I know a lot of early risers.

Thats a tough one and depends on the person and their lifestyle. If its someone I know I may call a little leter at night but never after 8pm. I wont call anyone before 9am unless I know they get up early. People that have young children I never call at bedtime because I know that is a busy time for families. I also dont like to call anyone around dinner time.

So families with young kids who eat dinner only hear from you before 4 pm?
