Pretty common practice for a lot of new guys, and CA's, for that matter. Have done it for the same reason myself on numerous occasions and found I was not alone. Depending on your domicile it is almost cost prohibitive to suck up a hotel room cost on first year pay for 4-5 hrs of sleep max. Do what most of us do and pretend you've been around awhile and adjust the lights, put on a sleep mask, plug in some earplugs and hope that a couple chatty-Kathie's don't show up after their ER to HNL breaks again!!
