Maybe they're just used to it

Or they just didn't think of that (probably)

Considering the teavel time can be pretty fast, they probably just alter the time they arrive unless it's urgent

There was a mention of this in "Enterprise". The inhabitants of one planet or another were unhappy that Archer didn't reset Enterprise's clock to match their capital city. I think it was the episode where he ended up cutting up a tree while covered with mud as an apology for something else they did.

There's no time zones or jet lag in Star Wars. It's just like there's an up in outer space. Orbital mechanics don't exist, and hyperspace travel always takes exactly as long as the plot dictates, whether its several hours for some board games and to master the force in an afternoon or it's going through multiple systems in a matter of seconds.

I liked that episode, it has some of the fun of TOS in it

Or they just sleep when they need sleep regardless of time of day.

There was an episode of Babylon 5 where a character grumbled about getting interplanetary calls in the middle of the night due to a time difference.

In-universe explanation: Hyperspace is a separate dimension where distance is distorted (and heavily reduced). However, distance isn't equal in all places when in hyperspace. One hyperspace lane could take a second to travel 100 light-years, while another hyperspace lane could take a few minutes.

Out of universe explanation: it doesn't matter
