Dwarves will seek to claim an unclaimed room when they look for a bed. There's two practical ways this scenario resolves:

Scenario A - Assigned Bedroom

• You manually assign the Dwarf a bedroom
• The dwarf goes to the bedroom when tired

Scenario B - No Assigned Bedroom

• You have not assigned a tired Dwarf a bedroom.
• The dwarf finds the nearest un-claimed bedroom and claims it.
• The dwarf is now assigned this bedroom, and will hereafter follow scenario A

Scenario C - No Available Bedrooms

• You have no bedrooms available
• the dwarf finds the nearest open bed and falls asleep.
• it is possible that they sleep in an owned bed, but they seem to prefer going to a dormitory or barracks before they sleep in an owned bed or just fall asleep in the dirt.

Note: sleeping outside of a proper bedroom will not increase a dwarf's happiness, and may decrease it if they are forced to sleep on the floor. Nobles may also throw a tanty if a lower noble or a commoner has a nicer (bed)room, so it may be wise to assign them the most opulent space available.

So in general, you don't need to worry about assigning dwarves bedrooms manually - as long as you have unclaimed bedrooms available, they will seek them out as needed.

One final note: Dwarven families share beds and bedrooms.
