On my nightstand? the usual: lamp, chargers, some decorations and that’s where my wallet and glasses sit at night.
In my nightstand? That has turned into a massive junk drawer of thjngs I have no idea of where to put, but some things of note: passport, travel charger, different currencies from the world, old chargers, nail file and clippers, other watches, a journal I tried to keep 20 years ago.
That reminds me, I should probably go through and clean it out.
Inside I keep extra meds and a small gun safe. On top is usually water, Nintendo DS, a book, and my jewelry. When I’m lazy you’ll find little nebulizer vials on top too.
It's not normal to need that kind of defence in the 21st century... bandits and what not really aren't a thing here because we have social security safety nets and (admittedly quite crap) mental health care.
Because you learn in life to make sure others are happy. The invention of a dildo was due to housewives in the 20's suffering from hysteria. If I get mine I need to make sure she gets hers.
And my organic stuff? You mean my THC vapes? What about them?
I don't have a bedside nightstand but I do have a shallow shelf over my bed where I have sleep meds, paracetamol, wireless earphones, a roll of TP, microfiber cloth and and also put my glasses and snus can there when I go to bed.
I had/have a similar setup. My one cat I've had for years never knocks anything down but now I also have a kitten and he occasionally feels the need to clear that ledge off. Typically when I'm in bed. It is kind of funny just hearing the pill bottles slide for a bit then fall out of nowhere.
I don't keep very much up there now. Only stuff he shows very little interest in pushing over.
Woman over 30 here. I just keep a bottle of water, and in the summer, an electric infuser that thwarts mosquitos (too many in my area). I make a point to not have phones or alarm clocks by.
USB multi charger, head scritcher, massage oil, iPad, loads of cables, fitness tracker, book-shaped light, remote for the lights. There's also a little trash bin next to the bed, which is super useful.
Most of the stuff is in my nightstand though, so everything looks neat and tidy.
Just my phone pretty much. I dont need my glasses to find my way to the bathroom in the morning, and I dont wake up in the middle of the night to drink water, if anything I wake up prematurely because I need to take a whiz. And then I can take a couple sips from the bathroom sink if I am thirsty.
A stand for my phone, a stand for my ereader, and two buttons for my smart home setup: one turns everything in the house off, the other toggles the reading lamp.
A lamp, phone charger, toothbrush charger, holstered handgun, flashlight, and some hair ties. I'll put my glasses and watch on top too before going to sleep.

Amazing how odd that sounds to people that don't live in the 19th century
nnullzz@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
Home defense is only normal in the 19th century? I have kids and own guns, not sure what else would be expected.

Are you saying that the country you live in has a violent crime rate of zero?
intelisense@lemm.ee · 12 pts · 2y
Zero? Probably not. Low enough that I don't worry about it? Definitely.

Phone, alarm clock (because some mornings, at least one of those will fail). Water bottle on the floor so there's less fuss when I tip it over.
Piles of books have taken over most other surfaces.
