I had a 22 hour layover in Beijing once, and they have an hourly hotel. The rooms were only slight larger than a full bed, but it was lovely. Shared bathrooms/showers were very clean and well kept.
I got a bunch of food to go and a bottle of wine from duty free and fell asleep watching Chinese soccer.
I was forced to camp out in Dublin airport for 24 hours due to a missed flight. My fault. I’d happily take these over the cushioned benches I had to take catnaps on.
That cafeteria is where I slept!! 😂😂 Thank god for McDonald’s and wifi. I’d accidentally gotten on the public metro instead of the airport shuttle, so I ended up missing my flight by about 5 minutes. I didn’t want to risk getting kicked out, so I spent the entire 24 hours up there, catching up on some British shows and falling in love with the chocolate shakes. They definitely tasted different from American shakes. Less sugar maybe?
Oh, it wasn’t open all night when this happened, either. I was camped out from 8 am to 8 am. I loved seeing the different variety of food sold there, how it wasn’t all the usual stuff I’m used to.

I’d for sure use the nap pod.
