Working west coast hours and east coast hours

I’m not sure if this is just a West Coast banking issue or specific to my firm, but I’m essentially working both East Coast and West Coast hours. I have calls and emails ranging from 4–7 AM a few times a week, and I’m in the office past 10 PM most nights.

As a result, I’ve been getting only 3–5 hours of sleep, and I feel burnt out. From what I know, in New York, most people show up to the office around 9:30 AM, which seems like it would make it easier to get closer to 6-7 hours of sleep going to bed at midnight, waking up at 8 AM, and getting to the office by 9–9:30 AM.

Please let me know if this is the case
