I used to keep my cellphone under my pillow when I was on-call, but I don't like the idea of zapping my head with direct radio signals for 8 hours at a time.

Unfortunately if I keep my iPhone to the side of the mattress, the vibrations aren't strong enough.

I've been using an old android phone on airplane mode for the same reason. I just end up snoozing it and sleeping so the bed shaker sounds great.
