I used to sleep with a katana, I cuddled around it like it was a big, long sheathed teddy bear, with a sharp suprise in it for any idiot waking me up suddenly, then I owed a friend a bunch of money, and gave him the katana instead, so I continued this with my rattan escrima batons, I mean, they're just a bit shorter than my arms, so I can still hug them as I sleep... and I know how to use them, so anyone who dares assault me while I rest will lose the use of hands and or other boney bits... Those suckers crack bones like chalk when you use em right

I love my whacky beatsticks.
Still want to get another katana to snuggle, I dunno, I just kinda got used to it, wassleeping with one for like 6 years... of course periodically I would replace the katana with a combat knife under my pillow when I had a woman in my bed, cuz really, gottagive her some cuddles, and it'd be waaaay harder to draw a sword with two people in bed, a tanto styled combat knife on the other hand, not a problem.
