Slug.

Slug please.
An eight legged demon spawn touching me would probably give me a heart attack. If I survived that, the entire bed covers would have been flung across the room, the freak would have been sent flying and then I would have to spend the next few HOURS trying to find it to kill it. And, I would be paranoid every night getting in to bed.
Wasp...second choice...only because I'm not afraid of wasps, just don't want to get bit/stung.
Slug, sure it's gross but after the initial, "Eeeeesh!" from me, I would probably be fascinated by it and watch it. Then I would get something to pick it up and deposit it outside before washing my sheets.

normally I'd say a slug but as this invasion was fairly recent I think it's possible that it laid hundreds of slug eggs inside or under the mattress and will soon hatch. I'd suggest that you wear ear plugs to bed for the forseeable future to prevent any of the hungry baby slugs from crawling into your ear canals to get at your brain.

hmm.
waking up to one spider or hundreds of slugs.
I think I'll change my answer to spider, please.

Unless it's a W.A.S.P. I'd rather go with the slug. They won't sting or bite.
Besides, there are some problems with waking up next to a wasp:

I'd put a tiger salamander on my pillow and roll the dice.

Spider - as long as it is non-poisonous, they don't really bother me.
I once woke-up to a horrible smell in the middle of the night. A stinkbug had come-in through an open window above the bed and landed on my pillow. I suppose I rolled around on the thing as I slept - that smell didn't go away all night.
