I don’t know why it happens because it does happen practically every night thst my phone, iPad, and tv and light remotes fall off my bed during the night. In case my tv remote does fall onto the floor at night, I have one on my phone I will use until my caregivers get to me in the morning. I hate it with a passion when things fall on the floor, but with my fall risk and muscle weakness, I Will NOT get out of bed myself for safety
