Really depends on the timezone I'm in! With most my colleagues between Euro and Pacific time, I tend to get up early when on the Western side of the Atlantic, and late when I'm on the Eastern side.
Ufff!! Must be tough for you to cope with. We have single timezone here but I wonder how would I react if I went to far East in India where the Sun rises at least 2 hours before where I actually live.

It's just hard when I switch west->east so I take a day of recovery after, mostly because those are often red-eye flights. It comes much more naturally the other direction.

That's obviously my bigger concern too. Although I won't just travel in planes from west to east, I'll still have to adjust big time. 1 day rest is a good idea, I might need more.

It depends on a lot of things. Until my mid 30s I did this across 3 continents - literally across the world - once every other week. It was ok to just skip a night and tough it out once a week, but that's not been possible for a longer time for me now. So I just try to be rested as much as possible pre-flight nowadays and then minimize downtime to 1 day. Not drinking in-flight helps a lot because you sleep better. Flying business is a prerequisite though; flying coach I would probably need more than a day too.

Yeah. I too take rest before commencing longer travels. It just helps a lot especially now when I'm +35,
Seems like my body nerds a better approach towards my sleeping or waking up habit.
I've always thought that a man can complete his sleep anytime, the timing and duration is different for everyone. Now if I don't sleep for around 7 hours, I feel tired but before I almost always use to sleep 4-5 hours and then working too, never felt so.
I'm trying to adopt to at least 5 AM routine but for some of the other reason I hardly fall asleep before 2 AM on any day.
