Actually we have just an hour difference, but because we are from different countries and cultures, it does change a lot. In a normal day I have to wake up at 7am and he too or even earlier. But by the time I get to answer his good morning text he is already at work and therefore cannot write a lot. I have school so there are days when I have free afternoons, but he is working 
then, he arrives at work and we skype at 6pm my time. By 8pm, I have to dine with my family because it's ''the rules''. We only have this 2 hours to skype and even less, because of the webcam problems and internet conection. Also, he dines pretty earlier (at 6) so I feel it is my fault, cause if I skipped dinner with my family we could talk more. Because we are so busy and I work during the weekends we rearely skype more than 3 days per week. It really sucks. I hate that I don't have the weekend off as everybody else, but it was my choice to work and study at the same time...
I think the time difference isn't that much of a big deal if you are in the same country, well depending on the difference, sure! but our contries have totally different timetables and my boyfriend always has to go to bet really early. So by 22pm my time he is almost falling asleep on skype and I am well awake.
How do we cope? I think we manage the time each new week saying "this day and that day I have plans/or I am busy. Are you free on XYW?". (Like planing weekly). If you can call for free it's nice, but we spend a lot of money when we do that, so we call each other quite rarely. It's about doing sacrifices... Sometimes I felt he was going out with friends and stayed until 2am, but he never did with me. It's different sure, but it really makes me clingy.
And also, seeing skype time as WE time is very important. I feel we sometimes forget about that, or I felt I needed more skype time, so I told him. We cannot do better, but I think it is important to assume that one of you will have to stay up later eventually, and then change places.
Take it as a situation where you're doing you're best and I think this helps dealing with the dificulties!

but sometimes we are staying up so late that even for him is late.
