What items do you keep on your bedside table for convenience or emergencies?
Next to my digital clock, I keep a bottle of water or a sports drink, ChapStick, a D-Cell MAG-LITE, and a glow stick ready to open, break, and shake as a backup for the flashlight.

Some of you mentioned glasses. I usually keep mine on my desk, although that has not always been the case.

. . . . Inexpensive alternative to the Kanteen straw - a wash bottle similar to this - https://www.amazon.com/Melphoe-Succulent-Watering-Irrigation-Sprinkling/dp/B09K7LSK6Z/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2HV8018BDRO8J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8IZR6ABPAyyZYWdu6KZbzL40ZmIBOFAAjUpESThTQTq7k_3nFjSjxbtyb8_vvQcVmTMIRDl9af7bgA1xMK940pkI79HnArB6K_MCkwhDi03AIoOxfnZW1zj0U644zR1AD3C0klOI4LpzwPZMYnoJyE9_1MHww710QQSN64mpfzdFhHdWIpTu1a6LiJlQFX91PIniSwPhE0IP9PPArEcoZsF1lLXBOTxxDCo3gvSwdw0.DR1hBgaw9FsAWaFgskgjK66411_S0Gudsz5d9x0TE3k&dib_tag=se&keywords=wash+bottle&qid=1733748178&sprefix=wash+bo%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-6

The straws weren't that expensive at the time, got them in a brick & mortar store locally. Mainly to prevent burning lip on a hot cup camping.
Can get a 4 pack for £8.

I don't have a conventional nightstand but a set of wire shelving, with one shelf set at about the level you'd have a table. On it I keep glasses, a flashlight, two clocks, a phone, an HK P30 in .40 cal and a carbine in 5.56 NATO set up with a WML and an Aimpoint.
