I never bothered warming the bottles after my first. When they were younger and I needed to pre-boil the water, I'd do that and put the necessary amount in each bottle, then keep the bottles in the baby's room along with one of those travel containers for pre-measured servings of formula powder. Then it's just a matter of dumping in the serving of powder into the already-filled bottle, shake, and feed.

I had a tommee tippee flask that I filled up with boiling water before I went to bed, the bottles were ready with some cool boiled water, so I just had to add a bit of hot to get it warm...
For the formula, I pre measured the scoops in the sectioned formula container and had it all by my bed, so no going out of bed, or measuring in the night.

Yes plus the formula mixes up and dissolves better in warm water.

My husband is a high energy person who doesn't sleep much, maybe 5 hours a night (Hooray for well managed adult ADHD! Best husband ever!).
I love doing the night feedings (there's something so special about them, no?), but I don't love getting out of bed. So he delivers the baby and bottle, puts the baby back in when I'm done. I'm always very scheduled with baby feedings, so there's usually a 12, 3, and 6 feeding, and then around 3-4 months we drop the 3 o clock feeding and it's just a 12 and 6 feeding. My husband is up for those anyway. He says that when he is sleeping, he totally doesn't mind getting up to give me the baby and the bottle. He kinda does it in his sleep. He's always back to deep sleeping seconds after he drops them in my lap.
So yup, we both get up for all feedings. It works for us!

(By 6-8 months, my baby's are generally giving a consistant 7 hour nighttime sleep, sometimes more.) My husband at 12 and 6 for those anyway.
