| Color me cynical, but I've had it up to | | | | buffet every night, or just flat throw |
| here with SLEEPING PILL commercials on | | | | in the towel. Stress at work. That's |
| television. I won't lay my head down to | | | | right. Stress at work. Television |
| the politically correct pharma police | | | | commercials for sleeping pills and |
| and call them SLEEP AIDS. I'm not going | | | | antidepressants always show one of the |
| to do it. It's not honest. All I want to | | | | main reasons to join the "newly drugged" |
| know is, when did we all lose the | | | | is because of stress at work. |
| ability to sleep? | | | | Here's some advice, and it won't cost |
| I guess I was, well, sleeping. | | | | your health insurance $190.00 for a 30 |
| You simply can't watch television | | | | day supply. Get a new job! Start |
| anymore without watching seductive, | | | | exercising. Become more confident. |
| dishonest and pathetic commercials | | | | Perhaps join a public speaking club like |
| selling you the inability to sleep in | | | | Toastmasters to finally allow yourself |
| the form of Rozerem, Ambien, and | | | | to spread your wings. Do anything other |
| Lunesta. I almost long for the days when | | | | than give in to being drugged for |
| it was just erectile dysfunction | | | | everything in life we all have to go |
| commercials slamming us 24/7. With all | | | | through at some level. |
| these commercials selling us the idea of | | | | Personally, one of the things I do every |
| basic dysfunction, what's there really | | | | day to combat stress, and thus sleep |
| to watch on television these days? | | | | better and feel better, is walk. Five |
| I have a huge bone to pick with the | | | | miles or so a day. I have an older |
| Rozerem television commercials that seem | | | | shepherd mix, so she goes with me for |
| to run all the time, especially during | | | | part of the walk everyday, and I pick up |
| prime time. I think you know the | | | | the rest on my own. What's done is done, |
| commercial I'm talking about. It's the | | | | as it is a great feeling to walk for a |
| one with Honest Abe, a beaver, and a man | | | | good 60-75 minutes a day. It's natural, |
| who looks like a regular Joe. There's | | | | and there is no political correctness |
| nothing honest, and everything horrible, | | | | tied to it like there is with drugs to |
| about this television commercial. Honest | | | | make you allegedly feel better, when |
| Abe and the beaver tell us that "at | | | | there are side effects to them you will |
| least half of all adults experience some | | | | not experience by simply taking control |
| insomnia at least twice a week." This is | | | | of your own life. |
| dangerous nonsense. | | | | Sure, life is hard. However, think of |
| I wasn't asked if I experience insomnia. | | | | how much harder life is with your loss |
| Were you? Pure dishonesty. What an | | | | of liberty and freedom, when you do not |
| insult to forner President Lincoln. Not | | | | allow yourself to take control of what |
| to mention all the beavers. Or all the | | | | is stressing you. Where is the freedom |
| regular Joes. Do the makers of Rozerem | | | | in having to take a sleeping pill and |
| think we are really so stupid, | | | | antidepressants to function? When will |
| television commercials will help put a | | | | it ever stop? When will you start doing |
| prescription or two in every household? | | | | something different? Who told you this |
| I believe so. We need to (and no pun | | | | is the normal course of life? What makes |
| intended) wake up to the fact that every | | | | all of this possible? |
| single human activity is now subject to | | | | You can take this or leave it. The next |
| drugging. Whatever happened to the War | | | | time a Rozerem television commercial |
| on Drugs? Whatever happened to free | | | | comes on the air when you are watching a |
| will? Whatever happened to our ability | | | | show you really like, press the mute |
| to use the power of the free market - | | | | button on your remote. Close your eyes |
| our choice - and refuse to be drugged | | | | when Honest Abe and the beaver are |
| for, of all things, sleeping? | | | | pimping yet another regular Joe or |
| Again, when did we all lose the ability | | | | Josephine to take Rozerem because of |
| to sleep? | | | | "stress", and make a committment to |
| Another thing about the Rozerem | | | | doing natural things to feel better. |
| television commercial that makes my | | | | Or do you really believe actors dressed |
