Izzy just started to sleep with us a few weeks ago because my husband was petrified that he would roll over on her and smoosh her! But that hasn't been the case - she usually sleeps between us or on my side and I'm a light sleeper so I'm careful and aware of where she is. She has not had one accident in our bed but then again she never had an accident in her sleep crate either from day one. We sorta alternate between our bed and her crate (weekends or off days she's in the bed and worknights in her crate)...I guess I don't want Izzy to stop getting used to sleeping in her crate because there will be times when she'll have to.
Not sure about the leash thing - if you are a light sleeper then you would feel him moving so try it without the leash - I'm more worried if something woke you up suddenly and forgot the leash was attached to you and go flying off the bed...lol.
