bedside
Lamp's usual spot
Bedside refers to the area immediately next to a bed, particularly in contexts of caring for someone who is ill or sleeping.
A bedside table or bedside lamp sits within arm's reach of a sleeper.
Bedside manner describes how a doctor or nurse interacts with patients—a good one being warm and reassuring, a poor one cold or dismissive.
To be at someone's bedside is to keep them company during illness or as they're dying.
