PVG-LAX runs on a similar schedule, leaving after 20:00 and arriving around 16:00. I quite like the schedule, because it gives me almost an entire day to do last minute shopping and other stuff that otherwise would have to be done on a previous work day. Traffic getting out of Shanghai city in the evening can be quite bad; I leave by 17:00 via airport bus and the trip usually takes an hour during that time.
If you are concerned about jetlag, perhaps try to get yourself to wake up 4 to 3 hours before scheduled landing.

CA opened a new lounge at PVG in 2014. It is very nice, two levels of seating, and good food offerings.
