I doubt the regions this may be required in will have such labor friendly laws though...
According to another comment the workers are 90 percent independent contractors being abused. So no extra pay.
Sleeping there isn't necessarily working though. It's having the right amount of engineers on site so they can immediately fix things vs waiting until the next day.

As long as I'm paid appropriately though I'd do it for at least a short period.
If your company requires you to be on site for any reason, it's work. I don't care if the employee needs to be there just in case and put his thumbs in his bum for 12 hours.
