Definitely doing BCM again - after this year's broken frame/welding drama it will be nice to do the more remote parts without as much fear of a long cold walk.
I did actually get some sleep at Kings, though arriving late and being very tired helped with that. I'd advise earplugs and a thin sleeping bag liner in your drop bag. Assuming they're doing drop bags again - made a huge difference being able to pick up a down jacket at Kings on the way out and wear it through the very cold night section.
Or the b&b idea @mustardbeak suggested is definitely a good luxury option, though personally I'm far too mean to pay for a room I might only sleep in for a couple of hours.

I got a bed, it was just a bit grim for my liking, I would have slept better in a b&b, and as Hippy will attest it was too cold to bivvy. It didn't matter too much I finished within time with no sleep, but a proper kip would have been great.
The main thing was hot bedding, and all the clowns who felt it was ok to come into the rooms in full kit and shoes and make loads of noise and not think twice about anyone else.
The other option like the Rapha lot, is to take over the entire room where the drop bags are making it really difficult for anyone to get their kit.
