You won't be eligible for STPC in that case.
FYI having recently done a 9 hour layover in the lounge, it's quite easy. There's a quiet area (past the downstairs restaurant, tucked away!) that you can get your own space and have a nap there. There's plenty of showers around too.
Other people were just laid out upon the couches in the main part of the lounge. Easy enough.
