used to be my handheld football "video" game, a glass of water, an Archie comic book and an alarm clock with a little and big hand. That was a long time ago. As I grew up those things on the nightstand by my bed (and under it...) have changed. Today there are eye drops, a digital alarm clock, moisturizing creme, my Carmex, the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and a bottle of sleeping pills.
Eye drops -- laser eye surgery and dry eye sometimes at night
Alarm clock -- it has a temperature read out, too, so when I feel like I'm on fire in the middle of the night I can consult the clock and see what the temperature is and curse the fact that we don't have air conditioning
Moisturizing creme -- I wake up at night and my feet are dry and hot. Weird...but true
Carmex -- can't sleep without my lips all nice and soft with Carmex
sleeping pills -- well, frankly, I live in the USA where you are go, go, go and never relax
Eat, Pray, Love -- see above. I am searching for balance.
What's beside your bed?

On my nightstand, I have a lamp, a candle, and a framed photo of me as a little girl. I also have the fan remote control (for my hot flashes) and whatever book I'm reading at the moment (right now it's Three Cups of Tea). That's it. Boring eh?

Oh, I want to play! On my nightstand - I have a lamp, a digital clock that plays wind chimes for an alarm, the book The Seat of My Soul, my bible, the book The Secret...which I never did get through, a bottle or two of water, calcium pills, and a baby monitor...which after five plus years of being there, I cannot seem to get rid of because it will mean my babies are growing up.
