Where did people sleep during the middle ages?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure they didn't sleep in the manor, they slept in their houses in the village. If there was a castle, the houses were surrounded by the curtain wall.

2nd answer: There are a number of possibilities, depending on the the period and the construction of the manor house. It was common for servants to live with their employers in the middle ages. In a simpler house, one with an open hearth instead of fireplaces, they probably slept in the great hall. The lord/lords family had private chambers called a solar, typically on an upper floor, although sometimes the solar was an attached structure. In a more complex house, either with more extensive upper floors above the hall or with additional ranges built perpendicular to the hall there could have been additional bedchambers. Better off town homes would have chambers apart from the solar that might be shared by servants/staff. If the house had a garret above the top floor and below the roof this area might be used for storage and for the servants to sleep in.

Just like modern houses, the design of medieval houses varies, with different floor plans depending on the needs of the household, the budget for construction, the time of construction, and to an extent tradition and fashion. For example, the great hall initially extended all the way to the roof to allow smoke from the central hearth to escape from roof vents. In later homes fireplaces replaced the central hearth, but in many cases the two story hall was retained out of tradition, despite its inefficiencies in the use of space and difficulties in heating such a large space.

Edit: Another possibility would be a separate structure in the manor complex to house servants, but not necessarily removed to the village. I found reference to a document from 1265 in which a manor being granted to a vassal was described. Within the manor complex there was listed "an old house for the servants" another building "which contains a bed" and attached to one of the utility buildings was "a solar for the use of the servants." So the servants were close, not living in their own homes in the village, but it seems at least some were housed outside of the manor house itself.

Answer 2

In hovels(small houses) for the peasants and in their manor House for the Lords. Preists and bishops lived in their churches or cathedrals with beds in rooms behing the altar.
