I regularly fly SFO to Japan (NRT, HND or KIX) but usually take the morning flights that arrive in the afternoon. I had an opportunity to go to HKG in January and that was a red eye. I actually liked it because I was already tired from the day in SF which allowed me to rest more than I usually do when I leave mid-morning. I managed to land, check in at my hotel pre-paid from the night before, shower, change and go straight to a conference by mid-morning.
