Spent lots of nights at LGA, JFK & ORD. Though these nights were while I was at Eagle & AA, so I had access to the crew lounges. The crew lounges weren't any cleaner or nicer than the terminal, and there was still the small chance of theft of your stuff. The roaches & mice were usually the worst of what one would encounter.
I would sleep on a couple chairs pushed together. My overcoat was my blanket and my uniform jacket rolled up was my pillow. I actually used to think about how fortunate I was, during those nights I spent like that. I was [reasonably] safe, I was inside and not out exposed to the rain/storms/heat/cold... I had it a lot better than a lot of people out on the streets of NY those nights.
