Thanks for your advice, I responded to the commenter below and I think that's the best course of action for me at this time. It allows me to get to sleep during the night, I just have to OK it with the rest of the team. They're very understanding people and have been flexible with me, so this shouldn't be an issue.

In general I agree with your viewpoint. I've been willing to sacrifice myself on some level to appease this schedule, which is the wrong long-term strategy. For the time being I am on the west coast, so some of the other moving considerations I might make are out of the question. Feeling "stuck" put me in a mental quandary, but it shouldn't be that way. I need to open the lines of communication to my team and address this issue head-on; ultimately the team will grow and more displacement will occur. My experience should provide a template by which we can all work together effectively, no matter what the time zone.

Thank you again for your reality check, I very much appreciate it.
