A few of my dwarves seem to prefer falling asleep at work rather than going to the communal quarters I set up. One of them is temporarily trapped in my farm room because of me not understanding how to set up floodgates, so his behavior is understandable, but a farmer and a crafter both fell asleep in the fields/workshop, despite several free beds elsewhere. The doors are not locked, either.

edit: There's a mason sleeping in the hallway outside the barracks. Is there a problem with my dwarves not reaching the room before falling asleep?

edit #2: The miner closed into the farm room was flooded, but rather than die, he was thrown to the door, woke up, waded through the light green water to his original position, and resumed sleeping, with no injuries!

Is the hallway part of the barracks cyan room Xs?  Sometimes they'll sleep on the floor of a barracks when they have trouble tagging a bed.  They also sleep on the floor if it associates them with hunting.  And, they also seem to sleep on the floor occasionally for no reason.

It's not a real barracks, it's a room with seven beds in it with one of the beds set up as a bedroom. Does this not work? Should I specify it as a barracks for better results?

Designating it as a bedroom will have one dwarf claim it his and only that dwarf(and his wife/her husband) will sleep in there from what I understood of former discussions.
I just put my beds in a room and all the beds get used (I 1st thought having them dropped in the furniture pile would be enough..   ).

Oops. This didn't seem to be a problem in previous versions, but I'll try the non-room thing.
