Sometimes when I want to sleep within my house, I can't because of the "You may not sleep now, there are monsters nearby" warning. Within how many blocks does a hostile mob have to be to my bed to trigger this warning?

The system is much simpler since the full release — sleep is not allowed within 10 blocks of a hostile mob.

Quoted from the minecraft wiki. Hope this helps.

10 blocks horizontally and vertically? – fredley Apr 24 '12 at 15:17

What about diagonals? – William Apr 24 '12 at 15:42
Actually, it is +/- 8 blocks sideways and +/- 5 blocks vertically. That is, a 16x16x10 box centered on the edge of the bed. – Kcats May 16 '12 at 14:45

If a hostile mob is in the ten block radius you will not be allowed to sleep. same as in daytime.
