Finally you can now pay for access to the Etihad lounges which may give a little respite but are bright and not conducive to sleep, they will be quite quiet for a while after 9AM though after that bank of European flights have left

Hope that helps
Indian passport can apply for a UAE E-Visa online and if they hold an USA visa then can get a UAE visa on arrival, although there will be a charge. I think with the duration of your layover you have enough time to go into the city but cost wise it might be better to just pay for the lounge.
