How much daylight?

Hi guys
This may be a weird question but here goes ..
I am thinking of booking to fly from a SE Asian airport back to the UK in April but can't decide whether what class to book, i.e. whether it's worth having a lie-flat bed and bigger seat.
One possibility is flying mid morning (11am-ish) which would get me to London about 5pm.
Can any clever person tell me how much of the flight might be in daylight? I can't think of an easy formula (speed of the aircraft as against the rotation of the earth and all that) but my gut feeling is there wouldn't be much darkness.
If I flew in Premium Economy and it was a mainly daylight, AND my body is still in what it *believes* is daytime I probably wouldn't sleep anyway.
Thanks
