If you look on the mattress seams, there will be black dots, which are their poop or eggs or something. Also check between the headboard and mattress.

see if it happens when you sleep on a different mattress, if they go away after a while, and you don’t get new ones, switch your mattress.
BTW, it could also be that you’re allergic to the kind of soap used to clean your sheet or something. That happened to me.

Bed bugs leave distinct markings on the mattress and linen. The marks are caused by feces left behind by the bugs and possibly blood.
To inspect the mattress, look along the seams, and under the mattress label. If you see dark brown spots, or if you see the bed bugs themselves, then you have a problem.
Check the pictures of an infested mattress in the resource and compare to yours. Bottom line, a clean mattress means no bed bugs.
