I suggest a vist to your local garden centre (for a long piece of cane) and your local WH Smith (for an eraser and some string).

Tie the eraser to the cane using the string, and keep it by your bed. Then, when you've finished watching your DVD, simply use your new contraption to gently push the on/off button.

Sorted.

I hope the official remote has a standby button but from what i can see in the OPS2 magazine it does't have a red button on it but it still may be on there.
