I've done it a few times and had my boat less than a year. Always at the slip
and usually because I wanted to sail 'til 9 or so and still wanted to get an
early start on boat fix ups. It's been a bit too hot here in FL to be
comfortable sleeping in a boat lately. Still a bit nervous about the
anchoring thing though. Need more rode and more experience anchoring while
I'm awake before I'll be comfortable while sleeping. 
P.S. Who's ready to invent a tiny air conditioner to cool a space hmmm maybe
the size of a 22 foot sailboat? It must be able to run off of two 12Volt
deep cycle batteries for 10 hours. The fridge in my travel trailer will run
on propane. No compressor. That system along with a low amp blower fan would
do the trick.
