"My friend and I found these awesome tickets with swiss, that included an overnight layover, but were much cheaper than the average ones. So we decided to stay.
At first, I read in the airport webpage that the airport was closed from 00.00 to 04.00. I was shocked and wrote them an email inquiring whether we could sleep in, and somebody answered it saying we couldn't. Thus, I was really confused and started looking for info in the internet until I found this page.
When we got there (around 11pm), we tried to follow the connections signs-- don't do that for overnight! they do close that part of the airport. I asked this guy from swissport and he said we could sleep around the landside.
So we went there and saw way more people than I expected. There are no comfortable seats on the check in floor, but the ones near easyjet have power sockets. Plus, wifi is free (it says it's free for an hour, you put your cellphone number and they text you a password. After the hour, you do it again and it works-- no cost guaranteed!).
Also, wondering around I discovered that the escalators start working if you pass close to them. People sleeping around them might get angry, so avoid that!
I forgot to mention that, on the lower level (in the one that connects to the train station , the one you actually leave the airside), there are these awesome cafs that have sofas and really comfy stuff. I discovered that way too late.
At 4.30 am they open the restaurants and stuff on the second floor. You can go to this terrace-thing that have these huge sofas on which you can sleep peacefully, and don't have to spend any money to go there."
