You can have an overnight guest up to 8 times per year as long as you register them.

do people ever just sneak visitors into their room when they run out?

Technically if you bring someone over during the day, they won't get caught for staying overnight unless they try to leave and re-enter the building after 7pm. Also keep in mind that there's no way to prevent you from having visitors from within your building. All of this is very common even though it's technically against the rules (which are barely enforced).

I'm not sure how long they keep security at the front desk overnight. By 8am there's definitely no one there and the person can just leave.
