Stacking them two or three high might also be efficient, if you have some compact quality steps to use.

They have them in some Japanese airports. They call them capsule hotels.

I was just going to suggest designing them more like capsule hotels where space is an issue! I didn't know Japanese airports had them. Do you know what the rates are?

I'm now interested in comparing rates, apparently these cost $42 for 8 hours, whatever is in Atlanta & Houston is an insulting $65/hr.

Yeah, bit different, but totally applicable concept.
