That works great unless something goes wrong with the flight. Then you're stuck in an airport struggling to make alternate accommodations while sleep-deprived. :)

I purposely don't sleep the night before a morning flight, and works like a charm for most of my flying patterns.

Additional trick: 2 gravol and a glass of red wine (you don't want to become an addict, but this is a huge help when you don't arrive tired) Source: I used to be a consultant and flew 2-3/week for two years.
