I have a little round glass top table next to my bed with a lamp, a book by Sara Paretsky, a flashlight, a pen and paper, my mug for iced water when I go to bed, a nail file and clippers, an odd earring, a bottle of Aleve, the class top. The lower shelf holds my bible, a steno pad, and the TV remote and a pair of pliers! The phone is on the table on the other side of the bed.
