It taken me two weeks to get my sleeping pattern and two weeks to get it back when I came home.

The rule of thumb is it takes one day for every hour of time difference.
When I was travelling to & from Asia with work I found staying up until midnight in whatever time zone you were in for the first couple of nights (no matter how difficult that was) helped reduce that - advice I received from a long haul pilot.

I wonder if the time differance affects you worse if you go east or west?

Coming back from the east is worse IMO

Going west I was awake for 28 hours and not a bit tired.
Coming home, I was so tired I had to go straight to bed for a few hours.
