Bunked down here on my way back to Australia. Local policeman showed me a good place to sleep. Met some friendly other people catching the same flight as me out in the morning so even though I didn't get much sleep it was great. Felt very safe and when I woke at 4.30 in morning to get my flight there were a number of people that had accumulated there during the evening.
Next time would get myself snuggled up to the yellow wall in the corner near arrivals for a bit more privacy but really there were no problems at all sleeping in this airport and would happily do so again.

Good sleep, from about 0:30 till 7:00. No unbearable noise, no bothering from security. Quite a few people sleeping. There are no seats (at least I don't remember them), but the floor is carpeted, which makes it a little soft. So with a sleeping bag you can get a good sleep.
About 70 of airport is locked for the night, but the remaining area is still OK.
