   I have an old floor lamp (refurbished) next to my bed that I turn on   
   when I need to get up in the night. This is so I can get back without   
   bumping into things.   
      
   I didn't have to do this 30 years ago, no matter how dark it was, but   
   night vision apparently declines with age.   
      
   Perhaps you might wish to consider the possibility of acquiring a   
   bed-adjacent lamp for yourself. Not necessarily a floor lamp if you   
   happen to have an end-table near enough with space for a lamp on it.
