I understand what you did explain but having a session at 1:00AM to 2:00AM
in my time (14-Nov) then another one from 6:00AM to 7:00AM in my time
(14-Nov) is going to be really hard and it means I need to sleep in between
these two from 2-3 hours and the whole day (Sat, 15-Nov, my time) will be
missed up.

I don't know, this is going to be very hard and I have a feeling that I
might sleep and won't get up.

I noticed that I have no session at all on the first day, that is 12-Nov.
Can I have one of these on 14-Nov to be shifted to 12-Nov?
