It's been discussed to death on the list and in person at meetings, that
we do not want people to sleep at Noisebridge.  My impression is that
nobody really wants overnight sleepers, although opinion is divided as
to daytime naps. (Presumably this is with the exception of those doing
it, who haven't to my knowledge said anything at all.)

Jake, you are one of the few people I know who sometimes have really new
ideas about things.  What should we do to discourage overnight sleepers?
 In the absence of any official anything, social pressure is the only
way I know of to change people's habits.  The mildest form of this,
simply waking them up and saying, please don't sleep here, has not been
effective.  Public shaming is obviously much more extreme.  Have you got
any ideas for what we could do, in between?

Thanks!
Rachel
