Definitely an interesting night. We started out trying to sleep in the most comfortable looking booths by McDonalds but were told to move by the cleaning people. We moved over to starbucks by the windows and about 1 hr later were told to move again. SO we got close to starbucks and laid on the benches for a few hours. We did not plan on sleeping in the airport or we would have prepared because it was absolutely FREEZING. The anouncements were OBNOXIOUS as well. There was a decent amount of people sleeping there as well, we all minded our own business which made us feel relatively secure. We moved behind the starbucks where it was quiet and got some sleep but the not so nice starbucks AM manager told us we were not allowed to sleep there, even though we had been doing so all night.
In conclusion, it could have been much worse i suppose however it was definitely not a restful nights sleep. I would consider getting a hostel in the city and getting a bus in instead of staying in that airport again or just bring sufficient blankets, try the other terminal, and bring noise-cancelling ear phones.
