comment
A character is woken up in the middle of the night by a younger character—typically either a son, daughter, younger sibling or younger friend. The younger character was woken up by something frightening, like a nightmare or a bad storm, and can't quite manage to go back to sleep. They'll meekly ask if they can sleep with the older character, just for that night.
In general, this is used to emphasize the bond the two characters share, whether that is familial, friendly, potentially romantic, or (less commonly) to give an otherwise abrasive or aloof character a Pet the Dog moment. It will probably result in Sleep Cute.
Frequently a source of Heartwarming Moments.

Stim: The night after the earthquake, Chloe asks if she can spend the night in Robert's bed. Her bookcase almost fell on her during the quake, and even though it's better secured now, she keeps thinking it'll fall and hit her, and she doesn't want to be alone. Their First Time ensues.

The duckling from the Tom and Jerry cartoon "Little Quacker" flees from the hungry and vicious Tom Cat, and takes refuge in Jerry's Mouse Hole, diving into Jerry's bed in terror. Face to face with a perplexed Jerry, the duckling explains his plight: "There's a great big cat out there, and he's got a great big axe, and he goes wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!" (Illustrated with chopping blows to the back of his neck.)

In Runaways, Molly at one point asks if she can bunk with Nico because she's afraid that there are monsters in her room. Later issues show her sharing her bed with Klara, and in the 2017 series, she insists that Gert sleep in her room with her, in order to protect Gert from her Mad Scientist grandmother.

In Euphoria, Rue first ends up in bed with Jules because she's high and doesn't want her mom to find out about it. She soon finds that platonically sharing a bed with Jules alleviates the anxiety that's been driving her addiction for so many years, so they keep the arrangement going, as Jules herself finds that having Rue for a bedfellow discourages her from her own self-destructive sexual tendencies. Of course, then they fall in love, and it gets complicated.

The Simpsons:
The second "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween Episode had a small Running Gag in the wrap-around story to the shorts that, because all of the shorts were candy-induced nightmares, the person suffering it would wake up frightened and then go ask someone to bunk with them. In respective order: Lisa asked to bunk with Bart, then Bart and Lisa asked to bunk with Marge and Homer.
The episode "$pringfield" had Lisa waking Homer up in the middle of the night and asking to bunk with him because she's scared of the boogieman. Homer's response? Become scared of the Boogieman himself (believing he's already inside the house). By the time Marge comes back from the casino and enters her home, the whole family has created a makeshift fort in the main bedroom and Homer is armed with a shotgun (which he has already shot a few times—once right through the front door).
"Kamp Krustier" has Bart taking advantage of this when he's believed to be suffering from PTSD after his disastrous stint at Kamp Krusty, pleading nightmares every night in order to sleep with Homer and Marge (even kicking Homer out at one point so he'll have more room) and unwittingly cutting off their sex life.

The Dick Van Dyke Show:
In "Ghost of A Chantz", Laura, Rob, and the other writers have to stay in a haunted cabin while working on a new segment for The Alan Brady Show. After getting profoundly spooked, the Petries, Buddy, and Sally all end up sandwiched in the same couch with the lights on. When Rob tries to convince everyone they're being ridiculous and should go back to their separate rooms, Laura and Buddy don't go for it.
In "Long Night's Journey Into Day", Millie and Laura have a long, paranoid night while their husbands are on a fishing trip. After Rob comes back, Millie is sent to Ritchie's room, but claims she can't sleep there. Laura moves over to let her into her bed. When Millie questions if it's okay with Rob, he says yes, but she shouldn't get used to it.

In Ted, both Ted and John still have a Fear of Thunder, much to Lori's embarrassment. Early on as John and Lori are sleeping in bed and thunder claps, John readily welcomes Ted on the bed when he scrambles into their room out of fear, with both reciting their "Thunder Buddies" song, much to Lori's annoyance.

Gretl is the first to reach Maria's room and is quickly followed by the rest of her siblings (except Liesl who had tried to sneak back into the house through Maria's room). Maria sings "My Favorite Things" (replacing "The Lonely Goatherd" from the stage version) to calm the children down.

The second chapter of An Arm and a Leg has Anna joining Elsa in bed after having a nightmare about Hans murdering Elsa. It brings back memories of the last time they slept in the same bed. When Anna was four, Anna had a Fear of Thunder and asked to sleep in her sister's bed. She ended up staying for three days. On the fourth night she asked to play with Elsa and that is when the accident happened.

In Alvin and the Chipmunks, Theodore does this with Dave a little into the chipmunks' stay at his house. While the scene itself is Played for Laughs, it genuinely does turn into heartwarming as Dave reluctantly allows Theodore in and doesn't disturb the chipmunk even when he curls up on top of him rather than staying on his own side of the bed as requested. This is later contrasted with Ian, who throws Theodore out of his room when he makes the same request (despite claiming that he sees the chipmunks as family).

A semi-romantic version of this features in the Lost Girl/Merlin crossover Lost in Camelot, when Morgana asks to stay with Bo after a particularly troubling 'nightmare' about Bo's past wandering lost and her (unknown to Morgana) future meeting with Kilgharrah, with this night together starting a trend of the two 'platonically' sharing a bed to help Morgana sleep better.

In the Ramona Quimby book Ramona and Her Mother, after the Quimby parents have a nasty argument while making dinner, Ramona is too upset to sleep and creeps into her sister Beezus's room, where Beezus lets her spend the rest of the night in her bed and promises to take care of her if their parents divorce. (Which of course they don't.) They share Beezus's bed again in Ramona Forever when they stay home alone on the night their little sister Roberta is born.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
A downplayed example early: Adora asks to spend her first night with the Rebellion with her new friend Glimmer, partially because she's never slept alone before, and partially because she thinks she might have killed her bed.
Much later, when Catra is experiencing major Acute Stress Disorder from being Mind Raped by Horde Prime, she begs Adora to stay with her for the night.

The Codename: Kids Next Door one-shot Safe Haven plays with this as when Numbuh 5 has a Catapult Nightmare, she ends up remaining in her room and Cree comforts her after coming in. However, Numbuh 5 is still unsure about falling back asleep and asks Cree to stay with her. Cree, not wanting to lose sleep, decides to sleep in her younger sister's bed for the remainder of the night.

In an episode of Sailor Moon R, Usagi wakes up to find her bed wet and Chibi-Usa sleeping in it. While Usagi is angry about this, Luna assumes it was because Chibi-Usa was scared during the night.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: While getting ready for bed one night Willow discovers that Angelus has killed her goldfish and left them in an envelope on her desk, an implicit threat that he can enter her house and kill her while she sleeps. Willow immediately flees to Buffy's house and the two are shown huddling in the Slayer's room holding stakes and surrounded by garlic to ward off vampires.

The Family Guy episode "A Lot Going On Upstairs" has Stewie suffering from a recurring nightmare about being stalked by a shadowy monster. Every time he has the nightmare, he runs to Peter and Lois's room to sleep with them. Lois doesn't mind, but Peter decides he can't sleep with Stewie constantly jumping into bed with him, so he starts sleeping in the attic.

In Everything's Gonna Be Okay, Genevieve and Matilda cuddle up to their father Darren just before his death. The next episode shows them sharing his bed after his death. Later, Matilda starts cuddling up with classmate Drea during sleepovers, as Drea has hypersensitivity issues and needs someone squeezing her waist so that she can sleep better, but this gets complicated when they start dating, as Drea crushes herself against Matilda's chest, activating her own hypersensitivity issues.
In season 2, Matilda agrees to share a bed with Genevieve again on the anniversary of their dad's death, ostensibly because Genevieve doesn't want to be alone with her thoughts that night.

An early episode of Sekirei has Kuu waking up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and she gets scared by Matsu, whom she mistakes for a ghost due to her creepy smile and Scary Shiny Glasses. This prompts her to run off to Minato's room and cling to him. The next morning, Miya states that she thought Minato had taken Kuu, implying that she slept in his room that night.

The Wind Eye: Early in the book, Sally asks to come into Beth's bed, because she's cold. When their father (who doesn't approve of his children sharing a bed) finds them and demands an explanation, Beth lies and says it was because Sally was frightened by a nightmare.

Jan, Jans en de Kinderen: One comic sees all three kids and even Jans herself get frightened by a severe thunderstorm. It ends with all of them in the parents' bed, with Jan being the only one who keeps his calm (and silently prays for a few more big thunders, since the situation is great for his ego).
