I'm a terrible napper, if I fall asleep on the flight I tend to stay asleep. Then I arrive in Japan and my sleep pattern is all screwed up. If I manage to stay awake for the entire "long day" then I almost never have any jetlag. I've never tried to start my trip with a red-eye though, so my normal plan might not work out this time, we'll see.
Indeed, arrival is 5:20am.
That's how I am, too. Plus I have insomnia which makes it hard maintaining a normal sleep pattern.
With that said, 13 hours is too long to stay awake without being able to move around. I could stay home and veg out all day, but I know I have a choice if I want to leave. On a plane, you're stuck.
Hope you have a premium seat.
