Arms reach

How many of you have similarly felt if you’re ever going to be scared to death it’ll be when you’re yanked out of an agitated dream by the roar of your alarm clock? I’ve experienced this too many times to remember even and each time it seems my ticker is thumping like the Energizer Bunny’s bass drum foot. I’m thankful I can put a 10 min. hiatus on the cacophony with a frantic thwack.

Unless you’re going to rest the alarm on the mattress next to you, you need a nightstand and NightstandSelect.com is the place to get one for those on a budget. Trust me, you don’t want that early AM maelstrom continuing on any longer – keep that necessary yet resented timekeeper within arms reach.

Often times, those of us that are a little financially strapped have to cut corners somewhere. Here’s our advice; a dresser drawer or bachelor’s chest is going to hold your clothing and will open and close a few times a day. Your bed’s the most important piece in the room. Not to make any less of your nightstand, but it’s going to stay static for much longer periods of time with less frequent usage. If you’re going to cut a corner, cut this one.

Who needs a box-spring? A quality foam mattress on a sturdy wooden platform bed is a great sleep waiting to happen. If you’re of the same mind, you’ll need a correspondingly low-height nightstand to sit at your bedside. For good-looks, suitable durability and surprising affordability, take a look at a Nexera Nocce Nightstand. A South Shore Sereno Nightstand has the same appeal; stylishly modern with a pair of cusp drawers and inexpensive.

Anyone of Nightstand Selects Prepac Nightstands is going to give you everything you need from a basic nightstand without taking a lot of your bucks. Often times an MDF or similar composite wood nightstand is perfectly durable enough for average everyday living, and for the price you can’t go wrong.

Starting at the age of 4 or so, kids will be getting up early in the morning as well for school. They’ll need a nightstand too, and there are similarly affordable options. Once the little ones get to preschool, they might as well get accustomed to waking up early in the morning and Kid Kraft Nightstands have a perfectly playful style for your youngsters. For older students, something along the lines of a South Shore Cosmos Nightstand is a nice blend of function and durability, and they’re sure to appreciate the built-in disc rack for their CDs. A Hillsdale Universal Youth Nightstand has a teenage sensibility to it as well.

I’m hoping at least one of the many people out there that have their alarm resting on the floor next to their bed reads this. You owe it to yourself to be able to put an end to that aural trauma with a little less physical exertion. Keep it within arms reach. Trust me, it’s surprisingly worth it until you go through it again 600 seconds later.

The Snooze Bar – a godsend I tell you!
