Colonists assigned work areas won't eat or sleep properly

If you don't include bedrooms in assigned areas, colonists won't go and sleep or get food. This makes setting up areas complicated.

Looking at the docs I thought that colonists were supposed to only pick jobs in the area, not use them for eating and sleeping etc?

Colonists strictly adhering to their assigned areas is a good thing and it worked that way since areas were introduced. I would be pretty pissed if colonists decide to leave their assigned areas during a manhunter event, e.g. just to get that beer I just bought from the trader.

It's working as intended.
