I personally can't stand a westbound redeye, and I'm not alone.
To each his own
I also know plenty of people who don't like westbound day flights, nor do they like arriving so late at night.
People deal with jetlag differently, but on westbound TPAC flights you'll have to force yourself to stay awake at some point - arriving at the crack of dawn and pulling through the day, or onboard the connecting flight after a daytime departure from North America.
