Inside the Jonestown massacre. (CNN) -- Thirty years ago, 909 Americans were led to their death by the Rev. Jim Jones in a mass murder-suicide pact in a South American jungle, shortly after Jones' gunmen killed a visiting U.S. congressman and four others at a nearby airstrip. One-third of the victims were children.
Ideal Lamp Height. A bedside table lamp should not be too large or too small, but a happy medium. The size of your lamp should be based upon the size of the bedside table it sits upon and the height of the headboard. If your nightstand is 24 to 30 inches tall, the ideal height for a lamp is 27 to 32 inches tall, advises the website William Miller Design.
Choosing the Right Nightstand Height. Because it's often tied to the height of the mattress, there is no standard nightstand height. In general, it is easier to raise your arms than to lower them when you are in bed. With that in mind, the rule of thumb is to have your nightstand level with the top of the mattress or within two to six inches higher.
