How to say "bedroom" in Japanese

• 寝室しんしつCommon
  nounThe word for the room itself: a bedroom in a house or apartment. Use it whenever you mean the room where people sleep, for example when describing the layout of a home.
  ジュディーは子供こどもたちを寝室しんしつへ行いかせた。↗

  Judy sent her children to bed.
• 寝床ねどこCommon
  nounThis word means the sleeping place itself — a bed, berth, crib, or cot — rather than the room. For the room sense of 'bedroom' it is seldom the word you want; think 'bed', not 'bedroom'.
  子供こどもは寝床ねどこですっかり目めを覚さましている。↗

  The child is wide awake in bed.

Use 寝室 for the room itself — a bedroom in a house or apartment; 寝床 means the bed or sleeping place (bed, berth, crib, cot), so it is seldom the right word for the room.
