Sometimes even that do any good, without any booze involved.

tl;dr. This raises some questions.
· Hardware hacks?
I had similar problem plugging the USB charger into N900 in the dark. So I bought a little battery-powered tap lantern for minimium lighting. May be you could consider this option.

I wondered why you couldn't just call your phone in order to locate it? You must have a good reason, like switching N900 into slient non-vibration mode at night. I also have a cronjob to silent the phone at night.

In this case, you may consider buying one of those phone strap that glow with incoming calls. I've seen such radio-sensitive glowing sticker, but this is much harder to find.
