I’m losing hours of sleep trying to match my team’s schedule. My group’s all East Coast and I’m West Coast, and the early meetings are wrecking my whole routine. Has anyone figured out how to adjust without feeling half-awake all day?

I'm right there with you, I'm having to wake up super, super early in order to start with the rest of my team. I've asked to flex my schedule to wake up a little bit later but was told that the traditional 9 to 5 is a requirement of the job and I would need to become a 1099 contractor in order to work outside of those hours. So that would basically mean losing my benefits and healthcare, which can't happen. So now I just wake up at 4 AM every day and it's a bummer. I wish I had a solution for you, but I am in the same boat so you're not alone.

There is nothing worst the time differences. East and west coast is a huge time difference though so

The usual solution I’ve seen is to focus on meetings during the overlap and to black out the schedule that does not align
I have team members in the UK and I’m on the east coast
We just meet in the morning EST
