"So I bought a flashlight with a wrist strap attached, I gave it fresh batteries, and I hung it from my bedpost along with my glasses. Then I wondered, what would happen if the batteries went dead? No light, no more! So I bought a package of extra batteries and put them in the drawer in my nightstand."

Better to buy a plug-in rechargeable night-light/emergency light. These plug into a wall socket, and if power is lost, they "light up" immediately. Pull-em out of the wall, and you have instant flashlight. Always charged up. Use high-intensity LED's as sources, so burned out bulbs are virtually unknown.
