Would I be able to get to the lounge when I arrive, or would I find myself forced through immigration because my flight is the following day. Thanks!

I think you'd be fine staying airside but the lounge is not designed as a hotel. I believe the sleeping rooms are very limited. Hey, you can get a decent hotel in the airport area for less than 100Euro. (Holiday Inn, Courtyard etc).Why not do that?
