The photo may be staged for media. Unless they're sharing bodily warmth because of an unheated crew room, I can't believe they snuggle up like that. Still doesn't change the fact they had no proper place to rest and most likely operated next day.
In some airlines that would be considered almost monkish behaviour. Plenty of crew enjoy sharing a bit of mutual warmth during layovers, unanticipated or otherwise
