Commercials

This is one of my favorite topics. I just watched a commercial for Rozerem which is a sleep drug. It's the one where the guy gets up and talks to the beaver and Abraham Lincoln.  Of course, they always list all the possible side effects.  But I got to say, that maybe one of the reasons that people are having trouble sleeping is because they are 'driving or using big equipment' when they should be sleeping. The warnings say you shouldn't do that until you know how the drug effects you. Shouldn't it effect you by putting you to sleep? Maybe it's just me but I don't want people driving around on sleeping pills.

One of the other side effects of these drugs is drowsiness. I wouldn't call this a side effect, I would 
call this tthe desired effect. I just don't get it sometimes.

You cracked me up with the last comment - I never thought of that. I'm glad someone else watches commercials and wonders about them.

Good blog! But there's nothing boring about being a stay at home mom.
