Kuwait is 9 to 10 hours ahead of Colorado Springs, depending on the time of year. If you are both awake 7 am to 11 pm, a January weekday gives you 8 hours awake at the same time, and 4 hours of those are outside a 9-to-5 for both of you (in July: 8 hours shared, 2 hours free).

The week grid and call windows were worked out for 11 Jan to 17 Jan 2027 with the IANA time-zone rules for Asia/Kuwait (Kuwait) and America/Denver (Colorado Springs). That week Colorado Springs is on standard time and Kuwait keeps the same time all year. The table uses the same rules for every day of 2027. The finder above recalculates for the current week in your browser.

If one of you is deployed or stationed in Kuwait
Duty days rarely follow nine to five. Set the work hours on the Kuwait side to “No fixed work hours” and read the grid as a map of who is likely awake, not a promise of who is free. Calls may depend on access and schedules you cannot see from home, so keep the windows above as a starting point rather than a plan.
Follow your unit’s guidance on what you share about times, places and movements. The deployment countdown has a private mode that hides every date, and the deployment countdown guide covers OPSEC habits for families.
Stop doing the math every day
The Long Goodbye keeps your person’s local time and time of day on your home-screen widget and lock screen, so you can see whether it is morning coffee or midnight in Kuwait before you call. A “thinking of you” tap lights up their widget, and a countdown keeps the next visit in view.
What is the time difference between Kuwait and Colorado Springs?
Kuwait is 9 to 10 hours ahead of Colorado Springs, depending on the time of year. In 2027 it is 10 hours from 1 January to 13 March and from 7 November to 31 December; 9 hours from 14 March to 6 November.
What is the best time to call Kuwait from Colorado Springs?
In January, the easiest two hours on a weekday are 7 – 9 am Colorado Springs, which is 5 – 7 pm Kuwait: Colorado Springs morning, Kuwait early evening. At the weekend, Sat 8 – 11 am Colorado Springs (Sat 6 – 9 pm Kuwait) gives you a longer call. Change the awake and work hours in the finder on this page to fit your own days.
How many waking hours do Kuwait and Colorado Springs share?
If both of you are awake from 7 am to 11 pm, you share 8 hours on a January weekday, and 4 hours of them fall outside 9-to-5 working hours in both places; in July it is 8 hours shared and 2 hours free.
Does daylight saving time change the call times?
Yes. In 2027 Colorado Springs changes its clocks on 14 March and 7 November and Kuwait does not change its clocks, so a call you keep at the same time in Colorado Springs moves by an hour in Kuwait on those dates. Check the table on this page and agree the new time out loud after each change.
