Default Bed vs Crate vs Room

Ok so Harley has his own bedroom, he has a crate in there, and sleeps in it but I don't close the crate door. He has never been allowed to sleep in our room for three reasons 1) the bf is scared he'll squish him 2) our room isn't 100% puppy proofed, Harley gets under the bed and I consider this a fire hazard cause I can't call him out from there, so I only allow him in our room when I"m supervising him (I have boxes under the bed, but he can still squeeze between them) 3) he's an energizer bunny that doesn't let us sleep.

So lately I've been letting him take afternoon naps with me if I'm tired and for the most part he sleeps with me, waking up every 30 min-an hour to readjust himself.

I'm moving in September to law school (bf is staying here for a few months) so we'll be on our own in an apartment, I likely wont have space to give Harley his own room so I'm thinking of taking the plunge to letting him sleep with me, I plan on 100% puppy proofing the place (new bed) and finally giving him free-rein of the apartment. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to teach him to sleep at night with me, do I ease in slowly or just take a few sleepless nights with him jumping all over me? lol.

Thanks.
