The standard bed room may range between 8'x8' to 16'x16' with a typical ceiling height of 8 ft (These are practical measurements. Usually they include an additional inch or two to account for the thickness of the lumber and\or the thickness of the sheet rock. For instance a 2x4 isn't 2", it's actually closer to 1 3/4).
This is due to typical drywall being sold in 4'x8' sheets reducing the amount of waste and cutting. and 8x8 room then would use 8 sheets with the only trimming needed for the doors, windows, and closets (in addition to any required height trimming to keep it off the floor).
With studs at 16" on center, as long as the corners are built properly, using 1/2" sheet rock the only additional trimming that should be necessary is a single wall may need 1/2" trimmed of the edge. With an 8ft ceiling (which technically should be around 8' 1-1/4") requires only two sheets, untrimmed (leaving a quarter inch gap at the bottom). In addition sheets can be placed vertically (such that they are 8' tall and 4' wide) allowing room sizes such as 12x12 with an 8' ceiling (3 sheets hung vertically.) The 16x16 room size can be either 4 sheets hung vertically or horizontally. Trimming concerns can allow for much less waste on a per-sheet basis by using one orientation versus the other (e.g. only having to cut a window out of one of the sheets rather then cut partially into two). Due to that flexability you can see 12x12 or 16x16 rooms used frequently for master bedroom.
10ft ceilings are also common as depending on the dimensions of the room and trimming to account for lining up sheetrock on the studs tends to leave either a 2' or 3' scrap piece with a single finished edge. (So an 8' stripe 2-3' in height) which, maintaining factory edge to factory edge allows 2 sheets going from ceiling down with the scrap piece, unfinsihed edge, pointing down (as molding, flooring, carpeting, etc.) can take up anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 inch (that and many builders do not like having drywall in contact with the floor due to moisture) wicking up into the drywall.) Some drywall is available in 10' lengths which, when hung vertically can make for easy 10' ceilings. 4' widths\heights are still common as 4' (48 inches) when working with 16" on center studs is exactly 3 (16*3 = 48) meaning 3 columns of screws when hung vertically so you tend to see 4x8 or 4x10 (sometimes 4x12) sheets
In addition local building code, may not classify a room as a bedroom if it is too small which can impact home value.
