In my opinion, a good bedside light is a complete non-negotiable. How else am I meant to transition into full relaxation mode, or get my bedtime reading done? But, as luck would have it, whoever planned the plug socket layout in my home clearly does not agree.
When I first noticed the complete absence of plug sockets on either side of my bed, I was disappointed, but I thought I'd be able to make it work. I'd rely on my overhead bedroom lighting during the day, and use the floor lamp across the room for some mood lighting at night. But as I soon came to learn, this simply wasn't going to cut it. It may sound silly, but having to drag myself out of bed each night, just as I'd started drifting off, to turn off my floor lamp was slowly but surely driving me insane.
