I have German friends who insist the flight to the US is much easier for them than the return, exactly the opposite of your experience. As I said before, much depends on the individual. What's harder for you is easier for my friends and vice versa. Since the OP can handle traveling, hiking, and then partying, on no sleep, my guess is that jet lag while in Berlin will be a non-issue.
