Perhaps thanks to a tip on FT years ago, I always sleep in hotels with shoes (flats) next to the bed. Into the shoes (atop a handkerchief or tissue) at bedtime go my glasses, wallet with room key, and car keys (if applicable). I wear to sleep and to fly something that I could run or climb in if I had to.

Phone is either with the shoes or immediately above them charging on the nightstand. It's now a habit to roll over and be able to put my hand on shoes and essentials in the dark/smoke/in case of emergency.

I supposed you could set the whole arrangement on top of a tablet or laptop if those were essential to you, but I've never felt the need.
