It's been awhile since I went to a convention and saw a "sleeping room"
for sure.  I remember a convention that used to be held at the local
university the weekend at the end of spring break (meaning back to class
Monday).  It was a Friday-Sunday afternoon thing and we used to declare
"SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!"

By Sunday night it was more "THE WEEK IS FOR SLEEP!"

They would have 24-7 anime showings at the university theater in the
student center where the convention was held.  Was a decent place to take
a power nap and not have anyone notice. :)

Was a damn shame that when I went back to finish the degree, someone had
been screwy with the money and the university wasn't going to allow the
convention to happen again until that was resolved. :(
