I'm sort of a "road warrior" in my job.. spending 50-75% of my time travelling, often in different time zones. It may be just me, but I find that it doesn't matter how early my 1st day starts for a red eye, or how tired I am.. I just power through it. Then as long as I get solid sleep that 1st night, ideally per the new time zone, I'm good to go the rest of my trip. Going East from West, it always helps me to be dead tired to that first night, so I can get to sleep earlier at acclimate to EST.

For a short trip, over the counter sleeping pills from a drug store can help you get sleep during different hours.
