I will put up a wall in the living room to create a children's room. I plan to use a recessed sliding door/Pocket frame. But how should I handle the wall's thickness? 45*70 seems standard for the studs, then I'd probably want double drywall on both sides for soundproofing (with insulation in the wall) and to be able to put up shelves. That gives me 70 + 13*4 = 122 mm. It works great with the door frame dimensions. Or am I thinking wrong in some way? (Tired today...)
What about electrical boxes on both sides? In one spot, I would need outlets on both sides, but can two boxes fit back to back or how do I do that there? Maybe just carve out the innermost drywall.

It's probably nothing to worry about.
The shallowest junction box I've bought has a depth of 35 mm.
It's a so-called rotdosa, or senildosa.
But do you really need so much plaster?
Isn't it good to hear if the kids are lying and crying or having nightmares?

Best answer
You write that you want to put up a shelf. For this, and for general freedom to screw anything anywhere, I would skip a layer of plasterboard and put OSB behind the plasterboard. Total thickness 118 mm, which is available as a standard door frame. With insulation in the wall, that solution is sufficient, if more is needed, it's probably better to work with the sound source instead 
In terms of sound, it's mostly to dampen the TV sound from the living room to the children's bedroom, but in a couple of years it'll probably be the other way around...Bernieberg said:

OSB it is. But I actually can't find any Pocket frame in 118.
Ah, before I finished thinking, I forgot it was a pocket and thought it was a regular interior door. Sorry for the confusion!O olofh said:

There you have it in 122mm.

Is it a problem? You can probably hide 2mm with the door frame, right? Or correct with the plane.
