From watching the commercial, I had an immediate revulsion to the Lunesta sleep aid because of the green moths that would fly in through your window and land on you and you would fall into a beautiful peaceful sleep.

I had friends and family that took it and they said it was the only sleep aid that worked for them and that I was being irrational.

And then it came out that people would take the shit and then sleepwalk and go for drives and wake up in their underwear out in the middle of the fucking woods because the Lunesta sleep moth had taken over them and made them do all kinds of crazy shit.

    Ok, but you're still being irrational... Their advertising choices are not at all related to real life side effects of the drug. The moth was probably thought up by an overworked, unpaid intern during a brainstorming session.
