Half awake and safeties and all I use a Ruger Bkackhawk 357 single action. No need to worry about a safety. Use snake shot too, but not all.

Snake shot...

...a firm handshake hello to an uninvited, malicious visitor.

Springfield's XDs have unique features that allow a familiar user...

...to awake suddenly and still respond safely to a threat.

I am amazed at how well they are designed...

...and how well they perform in crisis.

Colt 1911 Officers model and a .38 as a backup...
(And a blindingly bright flashlight to get someone's attention with...that doubles nicely as a club....)
All things considered, I really would rather them leave under their own power or in police custody and not bleed on my carpet, but chance favors the prepared mind.

I don't sleep with a gun under the pillow, as I would likely knock it off into the floor, but I do keep an 18" Rem 870 leaned up against the head board, a SA 1911, and two .357 Mags on the TV stand.

I second the flashlight. Actually I keep that closer than my guns! Always have a 3 D cell Maglite w/ LED on the nitestand, the bell sure helps from losing it in mid-swing =)

S&W 642 Airweight with Crimson Trace grips.

Replaced my Ruger GP100 .357 (too big), which replaced my Glock 21 (prefer revolvers for HD).

GP100 and G21 are still close by.
