how to get a good night sleep with bed bugs. I discovered bed bugs in my couch, which I discarded and is getting my house treated for bed bugs. However, I am afraid to go to bed and have been deprived of rest in fear of these buggers will come back and feed on me again while I am asleep. Is there any special preparation, clothing, spray, ointment, fragrance, etc. to use to keep these buggers away. I know they are still there - I can smell their sweet, pungent odor - even though I do not see them.
