Connecting through Dublin; overnight?

We are flying back to the states from Dublin on Aer Lingus on an 11 AM flight, but will be in Bristol UK the day before.

I am very concerned about a hectic morning if we try to fly from Bristol to Dublin the same morning, as it sounds like there would not be enough time for check in and customs. However, I don't know if I want to pay for a room in Dublin the night before unless absolutely necessary.

My question is, if I fly into Dublin (on Ryanair) from Bristol the night before the flight, would it be very uncomfortable to stay in the airport overnight? We'd have to get our baggage from claims and be "stuck" outside of security all night, right? How bad is that? Or should I just book a room near the airport and be more comfortable?

Of course, it would. Be kind to yourselves at your vacation's end and book a room.
