FYI, my yorkie is 3 lbs and he sleeps on the bed just fine -- no squishing. Unless you are doing jumping jacks on your bed, he's probably safe. It's okay to move around on your bed at night. You are the pack leader, and it's your bed. It is such a privilege to sleep on the bed, he can accomodate you! I actually agree with the people who recommend that you let your dog see you, but don't let him sleep on the bed. I think I'm overindulging him, but otherwise I'm pretty disciplined and he is sooooo cute when he wakes up in the morning with his little stretches and yawns, and we usually start the day with a nice tummy rub.
Remember, dogs really do benefit from a hierarchy. You are bigger and smarter than your dog, and he will feel more secure if he knows that you are the boss.
