I'd suggest adding a third layer of protection to the already mentioned alarm system and dogs. That's a locked and hardened bedroom door. Even if the crook(s) get through the alarm and dogs, all that they can get is property. While I'm loath to let them have it, that's why there's insurance. In order to cause harm to a person they have to get through that bedroom door. Doing so will surely awaken even the soundest sleeper, giving them time to make good their self defense IF they've prepared beforehand.
