Matt: I have the same problem with those red-eyes. My company thinks I'll supposed to be so perky and ready for work when I come in
after an overnight (and most often delayed!)
Flight! What I try to do is fanangle my schedule -- take the day off after the red eye and work a saturday or sunday (For which the boss's secretary, despriate for people to work weekends, is very grateful!)

Those noise reduction headphones are very good. UA should sell them and we can take our own with us on whatever airline they travel. (I normally end up listing to the Jazz channel or the cockpit channel or the country music channel and turn it to a dead
channel when I want to try to sleep.) CATMAN
