Same
My flights to Tampa are actually not to bad, as I wake up at 8am, get to the airport by 9am, get on a plane at 11-11:30am, fly for 10 hours, then by the time I get to Tampa it's 5pm/5:30pm, so I go to sleep a few hours later
It's the trip back that kills me.
Wake up at 9am, get to the airport at 3pm, fly out at 5pm, 8 hours later, arrive at London around 9am, then have a 1 hour train journey home and it's the middle of the day, so I end up sleeping during the day and being awake at night
Then it'll take me a few days to reset my internal sleeping clock and resume regular hours.
I'll never understand why airlines don't use memory foam or latex for seats/beds, they would be much more comfortable than the foam stuff.
