There isn't much on the public side and damn few places to sit much less nap.
No worry on the secured side. Grab a bench and sit down, have a nap, waste an hour or 20.
The airport terminal is 24/7. Some of the restaurants are also 24/7. Most (all?) of the shopping closes by 10pm and many close at 9-9:30pm.

You can sleep overnight at the airport. I did it once a couple of years ago and their where about 20 other people doing it also.
I spent most of the time watching movies on my laptop computer, because the lights where so brighht. That I could nor sleep. |

The transfer lounge (that's airside, not landside) has free & premium services like napping rooms, showers, saunas, news & movie rooms... DVD bangs, massage parlours, topless bars, strip clubs, room salons, orgy rooms, you name it.
You got a ticket, so stow the bags (airline check-in counters probably won't take them THAT LONG prior to your flight) and go through security/immi and have yourself a blast. There's the Transit Hotel, too, but I think it's a bit pricey. 140,000 won for 12 hours? 6-hour deals are doable, though. |

I slept there (during Korean day time) on a layover before. I just laid down on the benches. |

| There's a sauna down on the basement level. You can go in there, get cleaned up, watch TV, and sleep in one of many long black recliners. They'll put your bag(s) on a cart and watch them for you while you're inside. I can't remember how much it cost me last time I was there, maybe 6,000 won. I just relaxed during 3-4 hours of my 5 hour layover, but you could surely stay longer if you wanted to. |

| If go out to the area that leads to the parking structures, there is a garden area that has a lot of benches in it. At night is is dark and quiet. I slept there with my wife waiting for my sister to arrive here. Not too comfy, but it was quiet and dark. |

| Yeah, you can definately sleep overnight at airports, at least I know at LAX. As long as you got a ticket and are inside the international terminal. |

I got a hotel near the airport last time for 85k.
It was nice new and had free pick up and drop off.
Just what I needed.
Flight was at 1pm. Not having to get up for a 6am bus.
A well spent 85k |
