We boarded in LA around midnight and arrived after a 14-hour "night" in Brisbane in the bright and sunny AM - so it wasn't too hard to shift. Coming back was a little harder - left Auckland around dinner time after a full day of activities, and arrived in Pgh at midnight the same night after traveling about 20 hours. I think daylight is the key to shifting your body clock quickly.
