For three months last year I was living in Barcelona and working in EST hours (3-11PM local time). I always thought in terms of local time except when at work where I'd shift my thinking into PST (the majority timezone in my office).
It worked out pretty fantastically and allowed me to essentially have a personal day before each work day - rather than being exhausted from work and stumbling into cooking dinner and collapsing in front of the TV equivalent I was able to fully enjoy my personal time (including the big siesta meal) before facing the work day. I really tapered off that last hour at work but otherwise my productivity was way up and work was less dreadful.
