321. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "We would sleep in the Masjid during the time of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and we were young men." (Ṣahīh) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Hasan Ṣahīh Hadīth. There are those among the people of knowledge who allowed sleeping in the Masjid. Ibn 'Abbās said: "It is not to be used as a home nor a place for talking about this or that." There are those among the people of knowledge who agreed with the saying of Ibn 'Abbās.
٣٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: «كُنَّا نَنَامُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ» وَنَحْنُ شَبَابٌ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي النَّوْمِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَا يَتَّخِذُهُ مَبِيتًا وَمَقِيلًا. وَقَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى قَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.

If the sleeping of a person in a mosque is for religious purposes, that it makes easy congregational prayer, night prayer, recitation and remembrances etc., then doubtlessly it is allowed, but using it habitually as a relaxing place is not allowed; yet it is allowed if there is an emergency and difficult circumstance.
