I am terribly cheap, so want to avoid paying for a hotel, and definitely want to avoid this 3hr rule to get airside nonsense I encountered on my outbound.

Thanks
Are you certain there are sleeping rooms in this lounge? I’ve never heard of this, but this is not the lounge we normally use.

Regardless, a 19 hour transit will be gruelling. I honestly don’t see this occurring without significant hassle or discomfort.

Just book the lead in room at the Le Meridien, get a proper bed, shower and breakfast.
