I know this goes against what most people will tell you, but when I fly east on long flights overnight and arrive at my destination in the morning, I always find a place pretty quickly to take a two-hour nap, whether that’s getting an early hotel check-in, or asking whoever I’m staying with to indulge my need for a rejuvenating nap in order to be pleasant for the rest of the day. Since your flight will be in the air for less than four hours, even if you sleep the entire time, it will not be enough to sustain you for a busy day when you arrive. So if I am able to get in a two-hour nap anytime between 10-2, I am ready to go the rest of the day, yet am still ready to go to bed at a reasonable hour that night.
