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.

5Actually, it is +/- 8 blocks sideways and +/- 5 blocks vertically. That is, a 16x16x10 box centered on the edge of the bed.– KcatsMay 16, 2012 at 14:45
You can build a 4x3 platform 13 blocks above the ground(for safety) and put a bed on it. I've tried it and I was able to sleep without any prompts.
