I have only on occasion not been able to sleep in Europe, but I do sleep until I wake up on arrival. Having a 2 hour or so break helps as well as I don't have problems sleeping on the jet.
BRU is a nice easy international trip. Good layover also. Like many however I can't go to sleep at 6pm to get 8 hours sleep before going home when I got up at 1pm that day. What gets worse is when you have a 5 hour delay out of JFK and are still legal because of the 6:30 flight time.
