Cindy-
I have an off-the-wall idea as to how you could really make it tough for bugs to get to you while you sleep.
Check this out: http://www.hypoxico.com/
These are sleep chambers that are used for altitude training. The guy I climb with lives in San Diego, so for six months before a climb he sleeps in one of these so he can be at 9,000’ for eight hours a day.
Since you don’t need to hook up all of the high-altitude stuff, it seems like something you could make as a bug-proofing thing if you have a sewing machine or know someone who does. The general idea would be to make your bed inside a sleep chamber. It would be like a box that had a fabric bottom that was sewn to mosquito netting for the sides and top. If you have a bed with high posts that could be the frame, or you could build a frame. And you can get a big YKK zipper on the internet and just zip in and out.
It’s a little extreme, but you’ll probably get better zzzz’s.
