I don’t know if my period is starting

Okay so I went to the bathroom maybe 15 minutes ago and wiped and thought I saw some brown like my period was starting because its due to any day now.. but I don’t know if it actually did start and I’m about to go to bed so I don’t want to wear nothing and end up bleeding out lmao but I’m also not about wearing pads to bed and I’ll be very upset if I wake up with nothing in it
