There is no difference between 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west longitude because the Earth is divided into the eastern and western hemispheres, each having 180 degrees of longitude each. Therefore, 180 degrees east and west longitude means the same thing --- 180 degrees longitude.

at the moment of crossing, you can sleep right through it, just as you do when crossing
any other meridian of longitude.
By international agreement, however, your calendar date becomes one less when you cross
180 degrees going east ... or, more accurately, when you cross the International Date Line,
which is never far from 180 degrees.
