[Avodah] Sukka must be kosher for sleeping?

>>  Someone told me that he heard a "svara shiyur" in which the rav said 
that it  could be that if a sukka is not suitable for sleeping in, then it 
isn't kosher  for eating in. For example, if a sukka is mosquito infected and 
you can't sleep  in it, then you shouldn't eat in it.

Anyone hear anything like this  halacha l'ma'aseh?<<

If you can physically fit into a small sukah and there is  just enough room 
for one person to sit, is it still a kosher sukah --  even though there is 
not enough room to lie down in it?  
 
Would sleeping with your head in the sukah and your feet outside count as  
"sleeping in the sukah"?  Somehow, I don't think so.
 
Maybe relevant, maybe not:  I notice that my Lub neighbors will eat in  the 
sukah even when it's pouring rain -- when to me it seems a shailah if you  
would be allowed to make a bracha "leshev basukah" and there's no mitzva at 
all  -- yet they will not sleep in the sukah.  They seem to be following a  
different custom or different rules than everyone else, but based on what?
