Top 10 Best and Worst Airports for Sleeping

You're lying on your back on a pleather two-seater bench, your shins and feet dangling over one metal armrest while you adjust your backpack to use as a headrest against the other. It's the middle of the night, you're travel weary and your flight doesn't board for four hours.

Whether its the unfortunate result of a canceled flight or a brave attempt to cut back on a trip's expenses, every world traveler worth his/her passport stamps has spent a night or two trying to get some shut-eye in an airport.
