I not only have my handguns "cleared" (nothing in the chamber), I put them somewhere that I have to get out of bed, open a door, and retrieve them - to increase the chances that I will be awake when I do.
The reason is I have REM Sleep Behavior Disorder; I act out my dreams. I have removed guns from the drawer at the head of the bed and racked the slide, I have removed a pocket knife from my pocket and tried to stab a person in my dreams beside me, I have kicked and punched anything with in reach (several times knocking lamps off of tables) and screamed for help and so on.
Fortunately I live and sleep alone (when I was married I did flail about once and hit my wife with a backhand) - but I have moved my guns to where I can't easily reach them.
Sounds like you took reasonable precautions to keep safe as any responsible person should.
