Crazy, but in a good way . As a humble suggestion while trying this standing, try keeping your feet as close to the floor as possible. Say maybe an inch or so above floor level, that way you can "drag" your feet and "feel" any obstacles before hand. I too make all my bathroom runs in the dark, and with 2 dogs and 5 cats (I swear between my wife and roommate I got a damn zoo....) there is always a distinct possibility of tripping and breaking my neck unless I do a dry land "stingray shuffle"
