    Sports on the earlier side so you can go to bed at a decent time.

    People are pretty chill.

    Edit: Some disadvantages are pizza is meh and if remote then you may have to work some odd hours to collaborate with colleagues.

      In my frequent visits to Hawaii in the winter months they are 5 hours behind EST. So NFL games would start at 8AM

      Saw a video about this recently.

      Apparently west coast sports teams have an advantage over more easterly teams because of circadian rhythms. If you have to travel east a time zone or two to play, you’re playing late in their day, but it’s still early in yours so you’re more awake and up for action.

      If you have to travel west a time zone or two, you get the opposite effect. It’s now very late for you, even if the sun’s still up in this hellish western place. You’re groggy and tired and you’re not as fleet of foot on the sportsball field.

      So basically, on the off-chance that OP’s a pro sportsballer, they might want to bear that in mind.
