What do you keep on your nightstand beside the bed?

I have a lamp, alarm clock, my cell phone, and a box of tissues on my bedstand.

I do have a nightstand, but due to space constraints, it's full of junk. On top of it is a box of decorations, and a toolbox. At the moment there's also a box of gifts, but that will be gone on Friday. Also there's the alarm clock. When I go to bed I'll take off my hair tie and bra and place them there along with a bottle of water. If I took my contacts out earlier in the day I'll also place my glasses there, but normally I take my contacts out immediately before bed so I leave my glasses in the bathroom, where I took them off earlier that day.

My husband and I both have a nightstand. On his is his alarm clock and our cordless phone. On mine I have a lamp, box of tissues, the tv and dvd player remotes and my alarm clock. I love my alarm clock. I saved up my points on one of my survey sites and got it. It is one that you can plug your ipod into the top and play the songs on your ipod and even wake up to them as your alarm. We have to have 2 separate alarms because he gets up earlier than I do and I kept shutting his alarm off half asleep and he'd get up late lol.

well i have water and kleenexes beside my bed plus a basket with creme and lip balm in it and there is a clock radio as well as a light (to flip on in the middle of the night in case i have to get up.)

I presume a nightstand is the same as a bedside locker, yes ? Just the TV remote and my three alarm clocks I am terrible getting up in the mornings.

I use to have a night lamp, mobile, TV remote, alarm clock and a water bottle.

the cats see to it that the only thing I have on the chest beside my bed are CATS! They clean off everything else - and if I don't want said cleaning to land on my head, I'd better leave it clean!

um..tv glasses..something to drink..chapstick,maybe a book or two. it's not really a nightstand though,it's a cedar chest. kind of like one big nightstand LOL

I don't have a nitestand. oh wait...i don't have a bed. I have a couch. I don't keep much on my coffee table....alarm clock. I take my earrings and bracelets off by the computer and that is where they sit till morning. I don't go to couch until i'm ready to sleep and all I need is my trusty alarm clock.

My bibles (two), a notebook and a pen. I would wake in the nights and get an idea for something and I write it in the book.

My nightstand has my reading glasses, my other glasses, a glass of water, a noise machine to help me sleep, my lamp and a box of Kleenex. That pretty much fills it up! No room for my book, which is on the floor by my bed.

I keep a glass of water, tv remote, cell phone and a landline phone, my book in case I want to read and some paper towels in case I split my water.

A nightstand is definitely something that I couldn't live without. I've always had one or figured out something that could serve the same purpose as a nightstand does. On the one that I currently have in my house, I keep the book that I am reading at the current time. I have my alarm clock on it. I have a lamp so that I can easily turn off the lights when I am ready to go to sleep. I also have a photo of my children on my bedside table.

I keep my cellphone near me. But not in my head part. I place it in a table near me. We'll never know when anything emergency would call out. So better yet prepared and available for such situation.

Hi, I have a bookshelf next to the bed instead of a nightstand. On top of it, I keep my spectacles case, water tumbler, handbags and mobile phone.

on my partners side he has a boombox as he likes to listen to the radio late at night, he also always has a glass of coke, On my bed side table i have a my mobile phone, my ipod and my favourite magazine to read before bed!

i always keep a flashlight nearby just incase there's a black-out of some sort... with extra baterries of course; and some medicines like ointments, inhalers, etc... = )

Well, I'm not sure if what I have can be called a nightstand, but what I keep there is a sleeping mask, my cellphone, a box of tissues, and my keys. Also I keep a bottle of water, but I put it on the floor instead, as my stand is a little small.

for me ,i think keep one nightand beside the bed is convenient .yes ,just like you say ,the basic is glasses.when we want to sleep ,if we just stay on the bed ,it is so incovenient to get up to put the glasses ,espcially in this cold winter .so i have the nightstand beside my bed .

I put my glasses, eye-drops, and alarm clock on top of it. My diary, additional glasses, and a torch inside the first chest. My hair-gel, comb, novels, and a calendar inside the second chest.
