If your bathroom is at the end of a dark hallway, there are various solutions to your problem:

More light switches: You can add another light switch next to your bedroom door. This can be done either by tearing open the wall and putting in new wiring, by placing wires on the wall (if you don't want to or can't tear open the wall, e.g. along the bottom of the wall), or by replacing the old light switch with one that can be remotely operated via a remote or an app.
A torch that you keep at 15% battery at all times: Torches (or flashlights) have this creepy flair that ceiling lights can't match. Spice it up a bit more by keeping the battery barely charged. That way, it might turn off while you're on the toilet and you'll have to run back to your bedroom. The thrill of that is unmatched.

Install a toilet in your bedroom: Who wouldn't like to sleep right next to where they poop? This is a convenient way to avoid leaving your bedroom altogether, and you won't have to tear open the walls like you would have for extra light switches (what's plumbing?).
Lose all hope and give up on life: If you don't care whether you live or die, the monsters in the dark become way less scary!

That's why I always carry my phone/lamptorch when I'm going in the corridor during night time.

- Combination of 1 and 2: Go high-tech and invest in motion sensing light switches. They will properly work almost as often as the flashlight with 15% battery.. For the ultimate thrill seekers, try getting ones advertised as 'smart'. They might not work at all when AWS is having another outage...
  
  tfw the lights suddenly turn off and you aren't sure if it's Amazon or demons (what's the difference, anyway)
