     Just to add to The Thread That Shall Not Die (tm), two quick ideas:

     How bout parking meters for the couches? Perhaps a dollar machine 
hooked up to a green light bulb? You want to crash on the couch, insert 
$5 for the next 6 hours. When time is up a snooze alarm goes off. 
Meanwhile folks who would otherwise be annoyed by your presence will see 
that at least you're contributing financially to Noisebridge.

     Or hell, just duct tape an alarm clock to the ceiling set for 5 and 
6 AM, perhaps with the "off" button wired down by the entrance. Anyone 
who is crashing there just because they can should be sufficiently 
annoyed to stop doing so after a few nights. Anyone pulling an 
all-nighter and actually working should be conscious enough to walk over 
and kill the noise. Something non-audible could be rigged with lights 
and electrical timers, but if you can easily reach and unscrew the bulbs 
it won't work for long.

     FWIW I do think people sleeping at NB detracts from the atmosphere 
and (what I at least perceive as) the purpose of the space. Sleeping 
isn't contributing.
