Yes, but as I said, (because of the time zones) it's 14 hours later. If you can't get any sleep on a 14-hour flight, it's not because of the hour at which it departs. Redeye means a medium length, overnight eastbound flight (e.g., SFO->NYC or London->Moscow), where the time zones cheat you out of any decent sleep opportunity.

cheers,
