Are you allowed to sleep at the office as an IB analyst?

Hey gang. If you're going to spend over 3/4s of the day working inside a building, then I see no point in even going back to your residence. 1 hour could be spent just from walking place to place, and that's wasted.

So is it possible to just sleep in the office permanelty? I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. And you can go towards a window for sunlight during the day if you need to.

And I know it's can be done because Julian Assange spent 7 years inside a building. I think at that point you could even become Vice President or Managing Director. Then you can start living in an apartment when the hours get slightly better.

How would you approach this situation?
