I was thinking of making a booking for a short haul first class flight so I get access to the Al Safwa lounge, and then just not take that flight. Then I get the fun of experiencing that lounge, and sleep in the beds there for my 8 hour stopover.

Am I mad, and should I just use the Al Mourjan?

Many thanks in advance
Err, if you are connecting onto ARN then personally I would be hesitant. I can imagine all sorts going wrong with your transit if you present at Al Safwa with a different boarding pass to your connecting flight! You'd probably spend your entire transit explaining why you'd bought a flight you have no intention of taking, and why they shouldn't offload you from your ARN flight
