What is in your bedside table? Has a bible and a water bottle, that's all. We don't keep mobiles or electronics in our bedroom, so no tv, no computers, all of them are in our living room and studio.
My night stand used to be jam packed with all kinds of random junk thrown in there over the years but once I moved I stopped doing that and now have just a few essentials in the drawers - cough drops, extra pair of reading glasses, hand cream, foot cream and my extra wallet. On top of the night stand I have a lamp with a round base with a lip so I can throw little things on it and know that it won't roll off or get knocked off the stand. That's where I throw a barrette, chapstick, or other small item. I also put the TV remote there.
