sleeping quarters

Where you rest

Sleeping quarters are the rooms or spaces designated for sleeping, especially in institutional or military settings: barracks, ships, dormitories.

The term emphasizes function over comfort—these are places to sleep, not necessarily homes.

The soldiers returned to their sleeping quarters after the drill.

In casual use, quarters alone often suffices when context is clear.
