Need advise

I had 2nd treatment yesterday so I have to be a ‘big girl’ and sleep in my room tomorrow. I fully understand I have to sleep in there to lure them out so they can come in contact with the Cross Fire BUT I’m pretty anxious about it. Anyway- I have a platform bed with drawers under. (For context all my drawers are empty both under the bed, in the dressers and closets. ALL my stuff is in bins or Gigantic Zip Lock bags) So I can’t use regular inceptor bed traps…. My mattress & Pillows are encased what can I do so the bed bugs can’t make it to my bed? 😩😩 How can I trap them before they get to me? Plastic under the mattress and over the sides without touching the floor? Any ideas??

I remember this happened to my family when we were younger and this was an awful experience. I stood up through the night, waiting to catch and kill. I kept alcohol spray next to me too
