The security staff will not let you sleep, they will kick you to arrival area, then in two hours to departure area and in another hours they keep running around you to wake u up. Horrible. Only one working electric outlet in whole airport. Did I mention toilets ? Horror! You will not believe this until you check it on your own. -mandela

Sleeping in Bergamo Airport
Due to early morning flight departure the airport is often crowded at night. In general Bergamo airport has not received stellar reviews from travellers who have attempted to sleep at the airport. Seating is scarce throughout the terminal, the terminal is very cold, and airport staff have a reputation for wakening sleeping travellers. Some travellers have managed to find sleeping nooks on the landside, such as a small passageway near the tourist information desk at one end of the airport. You should come prepared to sleep or sit on the floor. A reader tells us “the departures area is closed from 00:00 to 03:00 and they will move everybody there to the arrivals zone, so if you are going for an early morning flight, don’t bother going past arrivals!” Explore our guide to sleeping in Bergamo Airport or read some traveller reviews for more tips. For uninterrupted sleep, there are 9 sleep pods in the terminal are hotels nearby. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.
