Time zone and the clock in Bangladesh
Bangladesh uses UTC+6. Bangladesh does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the time stays the same all year. The usual weekend is Friday and Saturday, so your week starts and ends on different days from people in some other countries. The capital is Dhaka.
| Compared with | Standard offset | Bangladesh |
|---|---|---|
| the UK | UTC+0 | Bangladesh is 6 hours ahead |
| US Eastern | UTC minus 5 | Bangladesh is 11 hours ahead |

| India | UTC+5:30 | Bangladesh is 0.5 hours ahead |

Climate and your bedroom in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is hot and humid for much of the year, with a heavy monsoon from about June to October and a milder, drier winter from November to February. Humid summer nights make it hard to cool down, so a fan, a light cotton sheet and a damp, cool wash before bed do more than a thick mattress. In the monsoon, open windows can let in noise and moisture, so balance airflow with a dry bed.
A cool, dark and quiet room helps most people. A common guide is 15 to 19 degrees Celsius, although many homes cannot reach that, so use airflow, light bedding and shade. See how temperature affects sleep.
Daily life, work and sleep in Bangladesh
Dhaka is one of the most crowded cities in the world, and traffic can turn a short trip into a long one. Many workers leave home early to beat the jam and get home late, which squeezes sleep from both ends. Plan the night from the time you must leave the house, not from the time the office opens, and use the commute for rest if you are a passenger.
Many factory and service workers work shifts. A steady wake time, a dark room in the day and earplugs help if you sleep after a night shift.
Ramadan in Bangladesh
Many people in Bangladesh fast during Ramadan, when sleep splits into a night block after Taraweeh and a second block after Fajr, often with a short nap. Fasting hours and the length of the night change with the season, so read Ramadan sleep by season and use the season calculators for summer, winter, spring and autumn. If you live with a health condition, follow your doctor about fasting.

Frequently asked questions
What time zone is Bangladesh in?
Bangladesh uses UTC+6. It does not use daylight saving time.
Is jet lag worse flying east or west?
Eastward travel is usually harder because you must fall asleep earlier than your body clock wants. Westward travel asks you to stay up later, which is generally easier.
How many hours of sleep does an adult really need?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recommend at least 7 hours a night for adults. The National Sleep Foundation suggests 7 to 9 hours for most adults and 7 to 8 hours for people 65 and older. Some people need more, and you can judge your own need by how you feel on days you are not sleep deprived.
How do I move my bedtime earlier?
Shift it by 15 to 30 minutes every two or three days while keeping the wake time fixed, get bright light after waking and dim lights for an hour before bed.
Will waking at the end of a cycle remove morning grogginess?
It can help some people, because waking from light sleep is usually easier than waking from deep sleep. The effect is not guaranteed. Grogginess, known as sleep inertia, usually fades within 15 to 30 minutes and also depends on how much sleep you had and when you wake in your body clock.
How do I beat jet lag?
Shift your schedule toward the new time zone for a few days before you leave if you can, choose flight sleep to match night at the destination, get daylight at the right time after landing and keep the first nights steady. Many travelers adjust about one hour of time difference per day.
How many hours do teenagers and children need?
CDC guidance lists 8 to 10 hours for ages 13 to 18, 9 to 12 hours for ages 6 to 12, 10 to 13 hours for ages 3 to 5 including naps, and 11 to 14 hours for ages 1 to 2 including naps.
Does a consistent sleep schedule really matter?
Yes. A regular sleep and wake time supports your body clock, which can make it easier to fall asleep and wake up. Large gaps between weekday and weekend times can leave you feeling jet lagged on Monday.
