No lasers, no lights. I've discussed this before. If you cannot shoot across your bedroom or living room accurately you either suck as a shooter or have a huge house.

Get a pump shotgun, use high brass #6 shot. Keep it next to your bed, next to the phone. It's easier to employ, and with the proper loads will not kill your neighbor when you miss.
