True story

[kigs]

I sleep with a spear by my bed.
I swear it.
One of those big ol balanced ones with the bulbous feathery red puff right below the tip.

One of these days, an unfortunate thief is going to break into my room.
When it happens, how am I going to explain to the police that there is a legitimate reason why there is a dead man in my living room with a spear in his chest?

No, really. Tell me.
I want to hear your suggestions.

Truely,
~Kigs

Unless your bedroom is in fact a gymnasium, perhaps a dagger would be the better option?

Hee... I'm picturing that scene from Kill Bill 2 in Budd's trailer, where they're having difficulty unsheathing their swords in the available space.

Oh, I have one of those too.

A spear. A sword. A dagger.
...and a butter knife.

Multiple options generally cause hesitation.

Clearly, your best course of action is to sleep with only the butter knife.
