Neither eat you alive while having you doubt your own sanity. The fact that you're asking means you've clearly never had bed bugs. Be thankful for that.

It sounds like you just didn't have enough cockroaches and/or centipedes. It's a common mistake.

I've had both. You can't even compare the two. Bed bugs really do have this way of getting in your head and completely destroying your sanity. I don't know how they do it.

You'll never be the same again after bed bugs. You'll have to throughly check every hotel room you stay in for the rest of your life*, or you won't be able to sleep. Forget about crashing at a friend's place. Roaches can't do that shit. They have their boundaries. Bed bugs don't give a shit.

I feel like I'm not adequately explaining just how awful it is to have them. You'll never understand unless it happens to you.
