Yep.
Although for me, I much prefer arriving at midnight, because then you can grab some food with your initial excitement buzz, then passout in your room.
Coming via Europe, I have to force myself to stay awake and usually fail around 5-6pm.
I think it's quicker to go via Japan/Korea/China too, but I've never checked flights from the east coast USA.
