Ok, DSM is the most comfortable night's sleep I've ever had in an airport. Which is to say not comfortable at all except by comparison. I got four hours of solid sleep.
Here's the tip: At the far end of the terminal--as far as you can get from the car rental and baggage claim--is a carpeted section that has lights on motion sensors. You can sleep under the seats, which all have individual arm rests. The carpet is much warmer than the faux stone floor in other parts of the airport. A member of the cleaning staff pointed this out to me.
There was nothing open between midnight and when the earliest flight's ticketing counter opened. Nothing. There's WIFI, but you have to pay for it. I didn't check the toilets out, but I'd assume they were as clean as the rest of the airport.
The last review for this airport was in 2010. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
