Hmmm, I think I'd rather be awake

Last night Charli and I were watching TV and a commercial for this popular sleep aid product came on. The ad itself wasn't all that interesting, but we cracked up at this list of frightening side effects.

sleepwalking

eating or driving while not fully awake, with memory loss for the event

abnormal behaviors

confusion, agitation, and hallucinations

worsening of depression

risk of suicide

shortness of breath

swelling of your tongue or throat

drowsiness, dizziness and headache

diarrhea

risk of dependency
may be fatal

Holy crap! You'd have to be a pretty serious insomniac to sign up for that. The funny thing is, I've heard a few tokes off the old doobage works pretty well for insomnia also. But of course that's not an option since it's illegal, because... uh because... oh yeah, it's dangerous.

So anyway, then I went to their web site to read more about it and I saw this picture I became even more frightened.

OH MY GOD... THE PILL THOSE PATIENTS ARE STANDING ON IS HUGE! How in the world could someone be expected to swallow something that big?

But then I saw this disclaimer and my fears were calmed.
