Can you be woken up by a creeper in Minecraft?

Question

If you sleep in a bed which is unsafe according to the game's rules but does not actually have an ordinary path to a dark area, is it ever possible to be woken up by a creeper, with the attendant risk of damage to structures?

I ask because I have slept in a somewhat-unsafe bed many times, and only ever met a zombie or skeleton, but never a creeper or spider, and I want to know whether I've just been lucky so far.

Answer

No, a creeper can not wake you up/be a nightmare.

The results would be catastrophic and are therefore disallowed just like a creeper mob spawner does not exist for the same reason.

bugi74 has done some great research on the code itself which verifies this:

On each try it will roll a random monster type from the subset of skeleton, spider or zombie
