I discovered that it is uncomfortable to have to get out of bed in the middle of the night and huddle in your bathrobe over your reader so you can plug it into the wall so you can finish _Pride And Prejudice_ because the battery is absolutely positively out of charge.

You know, that's where good planning comes in handy! When we designed our bed (it's completely hand-made by that very handy-with-wood husband of mine, though I painted it [with a little help from my mother, I admit]), we recognized this problem. So, both sides of the bed have 4 power outlets. Three on the floor (you know, for an alarm clock and other things you'll want to keep plugged; nothing there yet but the alarm, but still...) and one on the bed itself, right above the nightstand. And those I can use for my charger when I find out I'm empty in the middle of the night and still want to read without having to use the bed light...
