If you arrive fresh i think almost by definition you were not on a redeye flight.
After a week in the office in NY I happily choose the Sat morning flight back rather than a Friday night flight (I'd be in WT+ on either). I get a night out with friends in NY on the Friday night, a nice sleep in a hotel and an easy flight back watching movies or reading. You lose a day but gain a night and don't have to try to sleep on the plane.
