Starting tomorrow, clean: vacuum, wash your bedding and all that according to a schedule to prevent any eggs from hatching. Look up the life cycle of these unpleasant house guests and prevent if from occurring.

Sweetnes is correct in her answer. One way I found helpful was to first remove the pets and humans from the house or apt for one day. Go buy a few boxes of 20 mule team Borax.
Spread the contents on the carpets, couches, chairs, and in your case, the bed (remove the sheets), unless it is a water bed. Let set for overnight. Come back in the next day and vacuum like crazy. Besides getting rid of beetles, if you have a cockroach problem, this will also help. Boric acid is poisonous to most insects and spiders. If the bug have a nest, they will track is back to the nest and kill the whole nest.
Now, clean your room. Wash your sheets in hot water also using a 1/4 cup of Borax. If they are white sheets, also use Clorox.
