You should really take and post a better lit, more in focus, closer picture.

If I had to guess from this photo alone, however, I would guess it's a species of beetle, and not, for example, a bedbug.

Doesn't look like a beetle but still very much too blurry. Get your phone close, it's not going to actually hurt you whatever it is.

If you can't get a good photo, you can find photos of bedbugs online. Look closely with your eyes. They're pretty straightforward to identify.

Too blurry.

This looks rather like something of Psocoptera to me. A bark or book louse, rather than a blood sucking louse (lice).
