"In bed" (without "the") is the usual way to say it, as Clive said. You can say "on the bed" or "on my bed" but that suggests that you are on top of the covers, while "in bed" suggests that you can pull the covers up over you if you want to.

Hey, Khoff!!
I didn't understand what "pull the covers up over" means...
could you explain in details??

Pull the covers up over means 'Pull the blankets up' Example when you are feeling cold, you 'pull up the cover/blanket' so as to keep yourself warm.
