There are reclining chairs in the lounge, not much use for sleeping, or you might be given one of the semi-private family rooms equipped with sofa and chair.

Some people are happy to stay in the lounge, but others yo-yo between lounges to pass the time, taking in the commercial delights of the airside area as they go.

If you are intent on horizontal sleep, there are sleep pods available airside: I've never used them, and they look over-priced for what they offer.

There's also a reassuringly expensive airside hotel.
Thanks Ian.
Very useful.
