Yeah, going east is pretty much always worse than going west.

At least if you're like me, where it's not generally hard to stay up an extra couple of hours, but it's almost impossible to go to sleep a couple of hours earlier, without meds.

And, going west, suddenly I'm a morning person for a little while, and that allows for some possibilities that I wouldn't normally have.

But, yeah, I tend to take melatonin when on long flights, as it makes it easier to at least get some low-quality sleep, and it's common to be traveling during the time when one would be asleep at the destination.
