Why does that matter? You can sleep in the boat at your own dock; think of it as the same as a dock.
The real reason for the law is that waterfront property owners don't want to listen to people partying on the water late at night. Rather than try to enforce laws against disturbing the peace, this is easier.
For a short time in the 70s, anchoring overnight was legal in NH. I recall some great nights on my parent's boat rafted up with a friend's boat for the night. We were quiet and anchored far from any homes. It was awesome. I still do it on my own boat now, and it's still awesome, just not in NH.
