We’ve got a bed with attached nightstands. The only things permanently on them are lamps, which are glued down to prevent pets from knocking them over. When I go to bed, I add an alarm clock, reading glasses, and my laptop. Pretty boring setup, really.
Add me to those asking why nightstands are in the news. I haven’t seen anything about them.
A box of tissues, an alarm clock, and my glasses.
A lamp, a bottle of Rolaids, an alarm clock, and a small stack of books.
Neither have I. A google search didn’t turn up anything either. I did a regular google search and a google news search and did not find anything significant.
I think it has to do with the former President allegedly using a classified folder to block a blue LED light on a phone on his nightstand so he can sleep better.
A box of tissues is an occasional addition if I need them. My glasses go in a niche in the bookcase headboard to keep them from becoming a kitty toy.
Jewelry box, phone charger, chapsticks, earplugs, and bookmarks.
Hasn’t he ever heard of duct tape?
Lamp, glued down with some putty stuff made for that sort of thing; kleenex; at least one alarm clock, sometimes two; probably a couple of pens and pencils; sometimes the backscratcher, though it might be in the drawer along with my glasses and a lot of miscellaneous; sometimes a book or magazine or more than one; at night, the ipad, because it’s got the app for the pacemaker on it because I have a weird phone that doesn’t do apps and I’m supposed to be close to the app some of the time; also at night, probably the clipboard that holds sudokus printed on the back of old to-do lists, which otherwise lives in the bathroom; but sometimes I can’t put it there because sometimes there’s a cat there.
Also occasionally things I found in my pockets that I meant to take downstairs but keep forgetting, which could be all sorts of things. Irrigation connectors come to mind.
Yes this. Back up people, this news obviously hasn’t filtered across the pond. Throw us a bone here.
- A wake-up light similar to this one, which serves as my alarm clock, lamp, and radio.
- A book
- A bottle of lotion
- Sometimes, a cat.
Dust, baby. And fingerprints.
My lamp is a wall sconce.
All junk in the drawer.
I assume this Florida nightstand:
But when any noun is preceded by the adjective “Florida”, one should hesitate to draw more general conclusions. I would be cautious around a Florida bunny rabbit or a Florida pillow.
This. Trump does something stupid, and we riff off it.
Does the end of a book case count as a nightstand? One side of the bed has that, where I keep the white noise generator, charger for phone, Kindle, a lamp and a glass of water. The other side of the bed has a more traditional nightstand-y thing, it’s actually an antique wooden dry goods box, but on it live another lamp and, right now, a spare usb charging cable, not attached to anything.

My great aunts lamp
Spray water bottle to aim at the cats trying to jump on the dresser or claw the shades
When I come to bed it holds my yeti, phone and mini iPad. Sometimes a bowl of scream or almonds. Dental floss. Napkin.

Bookmarks
Notebooks, pens

Alarm clock
I still have the nightstand I have as a kid, so it is over 60 years old. On it are a tissue box, a lamp, a mug with pencils (the mug is a Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me mug from when we saw a taping) and the remote control for the bed - it goes up and down.
In the drawer of the nightstand is a big collection of junk - pens, pencils, bookmarks, random stuff. In the space in the nightstand are old puzzle books I’ll probably never get to and a batch of the puzzle supplements from the Sunday Mercury News which I’m working my way through.
And dust. Too much dust.
I’m trying to go more minimalist these days.
An analog alarm clock.
A lamp
A small bronze statue of a Buddha sitting on a sea turtle.
That’s it.
