As I write this post, it 2:00 in the afternoon, and I have consumed nothing aside from three brazil nuts, a large cup of black coffee, and
a few tall glasses of water.
I prefer a height that's within a
few inches
of the mattress, not too much
taller, not too much shorter, for that convenience
of reaching over for your
glass of water,
glasses, or to turn out the lamp, etc..
