It's dead. Caught it in the dark last week, and a second one today (in dim light), while in bed. I've checked our bed previously due to bug bites, and I haven't found anything. It doesn't appear to be a bedbug.
Any suggestions?

Not a bedbug for sure, I'm normally pretty good with bugs, but from this picture I can't tell. Look up house bugs in your area, or try n find another. Search your room just like you would for bedbugs and you'll find something if theres anything. Chances are it's just a stray. When I lived in Kansas (for 11 years) my roommate and I would find atleast 2 or 3 brown recluse a week, and often between our beds and the wall, and in 11 years we didnt get bitten once.
Can't really tell from the photo, even enlarged (the resolution is a little low), but it is not an arachnid. This means not a spider, or tick. it is not a bedbug, either female or male. Bedbugs have a specific shape for each sex, and that's not it. I would guess some sort of beetle. Or even a bug. Generally speaking, the obvious difference between a beetle and a bug is the mouthparts. Beetles chew, while bugs suck. Likely a beetle.
