Crate training saved me and my puppy, so I highly recommend it. We unexpectedly ended up fostering her a couple of months ago and I don't think we would have kept her if we didn't crate. Man, that first night was rough though. She was so whiny, even though I had the warm toy (this one has beans in a little cloth bag you can warm up in the microwave) and we turned on a couple of fans for the white noise... but I probably got <4 hours of sleep that night. Just remember, sometimes the pup will be crying because it misses you, and sometimes it legitimately needs to go potty, and you want to balance how often you check on them so you're not giving them attention for whining just to see you. I took mine out every 2-3 hours and she at least didn't have any accidents. And then the next night she slept from 10pm-5am without a peep! It will probably take some pups longer, but eventually they should get that crate time is quiet/sleepy time.
You probably know this, but make sure crate time is never, ever punishment time. Even if you just need an hour of quiet, don't banish your pup to the crate with nothing to do (it's just asking for trouble). Mine is 7-8 months old(ish) and she still gets a small treat just for going into puppy jail, and a kong full of yummy stuff if she has to be in there for a longer period of time.
This is getting rambly... But PM me if you ever need to talk. I cried so much when we first got our puppy. I really didn't think we'd be able to keep her. But now that we've worked through the potty training and the whining and the chewing... I can't imagine my family without her :)
Nothing wrong with laying next to the crate, but if he's coming from a situation where he was with a lot of other dogs, this might be a good tool for you. If that's too expensive and he's small enough, this should be sufficient and it's a lot cheaper. Our dog had the same issues, but the latter option was much too small for her. I hope that helps. :-)
Dunno if this will work for you, but we gradually distanced our puppy further from us at night. At first we'd keep him in his kennel on the night stand, so he could see us. We did this for a few weeks and gradually moved him to the floor near our bed. Then progressed to move his kennel closer to the door, then outside our door until finally he was comfortable enough to stay by himself at night in another room.
It also makes it easier if his kennel becomes a safe place for him. Like others have mentioned. Put a treat or a favorite toy in there with him. Our pup really liked this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Petstages-101-Puppy-Cuddle-Pal/dp/B0006MU8WC/ We'd microwave the insert to simulate having a warm buddy cuddling with him.
