Make sure you know whether the time is AM or PM if you use a 12-hour clock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: Add eight to the hour.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the minutes the same.

If the total reaches 24 or more, subtract 24 and advance the date by one day. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">09:00 + 8 hours = 17:00, or 5:00 PM.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15:00 + 8 hours = 23:00, or 11:00 PM.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21:00 + 8 hours = 29:00.

If the shift starts at 11:00 PM, eight elapsed hours later is 7:00 AM the following day. Remember that an eight-hour shift on a workplace schedule may not always mean eight hours between clock-in and clock-out. An unpaid lunch break can extend the total time spent at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep_and_Rest\"><\/span><b>Sleep and Rest<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you go to bed at 10:30 PM and count eight hours, the result is 6:30 AM the next day. This can help you plan a bedtime around a desired wake-up time. The calculation gives you the elapsed time between two clock readings. Actual sleep time may be shorter if you take time to fall asleep or wake up during the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Appointments_and_Reminders\"><\/span><b>Appointments and Reminders<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose you begin an activity at 1:45 PM and need to set a reminder eight hours later. The reminder time would be 9:45 PM on the same day. If you start at 6:45 PM, the result becomes 2:45 AM the next day. Checking the date is particularly important when scheduling reminders late in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_and_Long_Activities\"><\/span><b>Travel and Long Activities<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a journey or activity takes eight hours and begins at 7:00 AM, the expected end time is 3:00 PM, assuming the duration remains eight elapsed hours.
