DD always woke up before me so not quite the same problem BUT I generally left her on the bed so I could go get her a bottle and she could have that in bed with me. That was the theory anyway, more and more often she would get off the bed and follow me. So we basically taught her how to get off the bed safely (feet rather than head first). Maybe that would work then you don't need to worry? We're lucky though in that our bed is pretty close to the floor so easy for her to get off.
