Since the picture is a little blurry, I can't be sure (and hopefully some people who are better than I am at identification will chime in), but I don't think it's a bed bug. The size looks wrong.

Bed bugs also have a striated body with vertical bands across it. This insect looks to have a shiny back that's curved like the top of a Volkswagon beetle which also doesn't look like a bed bug to me.

If I found that in my house, I would be extra vigilant about inspections for the next week or two but I certainly wouldn't be afraid to go back to my bed. (Not that I wouldn't have been as afraid to sleep as you were if I hadn't seen a bed bug before. Since I have, it's easier for me to be confident that I know what I'm looking for. I'm just trying to give you a sense of how likely I think it is that it isn't a bed bug.)

Remember, adult bed bugs at their biggest are really not much bigger than an apple seed. Based on the penny, the sense of scale seems wrong.
