I've slept at various airports under just these circumstances. Pretty common.
According to https://www.sleepinginairports.net/guides/madrid-barajas-airport-guide.htm the airport is open 24 hours so they can just hang there. Allowing about an hour to get to the airport they'd only have five hours or so. By airport waiting standards that's nothing!
