They make switches with built-in LED lights along the bottom for this.
It’s a risky investment. Many people hate having lights glowing when they’re trying to sleep.
Look for LED wall switches on Amazon. They come in a dozen versions: light shines up, lights in the faceplate, the switch itself glows… Any version you could possibly want.
I installed one of these in a hallway. It was nice to know exactly where the light switch was, since it was not near a doorway or other nighttime landmark. I’d hate it in my bedroom.
I think they’re good for “common” areas, but my wife hates highlights of all kinds. We have a low-key war going on where I’ll randomly put a nightlight somewhere, and she’ll find it after a week or so and remove it.
Not in bedrooms, though; I agree on that. Although, I put one of this motion-triggered light bars in her walk-in closet, and she likes that enough to keep it charged herself.

Smart switches are so nice
Going to bed? One touch of a widget on my phone’s home screen and all my house lights go off.
Front porch lights need to be on a timer? Smart switches do that
I recommend Kasa brand. Look for refurbished ones and you can get them under $10 a piece.
Easily worth ~$8 dollars per switch if you’re doing it new.
I think worth ~$12 if you’re willing to replace yourself
