Use of suitable tense

Hi,

which tense do we use if we want to talk about a temporary action in the future?
E.g.,some tourist has arrived to my house and I want to put him up for some time.
Shall I say - You will be sleeping here. OR
You are going to sleep here. ??? OR
You are sleeping here.
Or can I use all of them?

Thank you in advance.
