I am facing the same quandry - late in, early out - not much point in getting a hotel to spend 3 hours in the room.
It looks like only a couple of flights leave between 0200 and 0400...
I am landing with UA at T7, but have not been able to find if it does "go dark". Would be glad to find out if it's possible to stay there at night or not.

As for sleeping, I guess it depends. Several terminals have departures between 2AM and 4 AM so in theory, you can just hang out. But some terminals go dark after the last departure and TSA will probably clear you out.
