This has a lot of bases covered. Mainly, have a strp stool or other handy (everywhere imaginable) so you can maneuver yourself up.

I know all about phones and in my case eyeglasses next to my pillow, and a phone or watch with me at all times. My family bought me the watch. I'm definitely in the woods.

Be safe.
