Get yourself a 10 pound fire extinguisher and keep it near the bed. The powder blinds and chokes and the cylinder is an aluminum bat minus the handle. You can also use the bottle to break the window to get out in a fire. No one questions a fire extinguisher its just part of your home safety stuff, keep a good flashlight and a first aid kit with it and your a well prepared girl scout who can blind and choke a man with a simple asphyxiation.
