I can't find a link to official San Francisco documentation about this, but
the poorly enforced Sit/Lie law is only in effect from 7am to 11pm.

NB only has a few rules:

- Be excellent to each other.
- Don't show up in the space with one hand in a duffel bag and threaten to kill everyone.
- Don't have TB.
- Don't sleep in 2169 Mission St, San Francisco CA
- Don't publically inform everyone you have no interest in technology(a.k.a 'hacking') 
  while you hang out at a hackerspace 24 hours a day for the last 12 months.

Follow these simple rules and you'll succeed.
