The kind of person who is in your home on the prowl rarely wants to escalate to Murder 1, unless they're after you and not your things. If you're not confident in your ability to subdue or do not have an opportunity, comply and protect your family. Best you can do, even with training; waking up you're at a disadvantage and don't know if they have backup. I know an Air Force major who has won awards for hand to hand combat and he still let his stuff go. Smart.
Your goal should be to get them out. Grease those wheels. Offer more. Be blunt. Nothing you own is worth the escalation.

The intruder can freak out or suddenly feel exposed and take an unintentional drastic step. My point it that it's very difficult to second guess these things and anything can happen in the heat of the moment.
