We're only like 6 hours apart, the effective thing to do is just to wake up a bit early and go to bed a bit early. This is what I did during my GSoC's. However I know some of the students were staying up really late. This actually isn't effective at all since Europe starts waking up in the middle of the night (meaning the student is awake during the entire europe-is-asleep-period). In short, I think this is the fault of the students involved and there's not much we can do about it! :P I know for Amarok it was mostly US students and European time zones.

For example, I live in Europe (Austria to be precise), but I'm notorious for living mostly on US time (though these days my sleeping schedules are even more chaotic).
