For a burglary - if you are sleeping in the bedroom then
pretty good plan.

For a home invasion, depending on timing/forced entry you
may have little or no time to retreat to another room.

I've been witness to one of these (two armed home invaders
caved a door in around midnight and got to the residents BR
and held them at gunpoint in about 30 seconds)

My plan is to get to safe room and wait and repel grave threat
if it is coming through BR door.

But I also keep a couple of things ready in case there is no
time to retreat and it's time to adjust to the threat right then
and there.
