4 D-cell Maglight beside the bed. A good light is far more useful than a weapon, and the brilliant beam can be used to blind and disorient.
I figure that I'm not all that sharp when just waking up from a dead sleep, and a firearm combined with poor judgement from insufficient level of consciousness is a bad combo.
Past that, I've a Mossberg 590 loaded with #4 shot in the closet near the bed.
