This by far has to be one of the best on You Tube I have seen, linked from Dr. Kevin's medical blog.  Be sure to pay particular attention to the narration and you may have to run this a couple times to hear the entire audio.

OMG. Hillarious.

Barbara,  While "on the topic", Lunesta (es-zopiclone) is an enantiomer of zopliclone.  Zopiclone is much less expensive and practically identical to es-zopiclone.  There is no meaningful benefit to taking Lunesta, all patients should use Zopiclone.  If patient's themselves had to pay for drugs, the vast vast majority would say that Zoplicone is just as  good or better than es-zopiclone, and would choose the much cheaper version. 

Lunesta (esZopiclone) might be the pinnacle of the "Me, Too" drugs. 

Here is a reasonable blurb on "Me, Too" drugs

Thank you for the information and I'll remember that if I get a prescription.  I have actually taken Lunesta on a few occasions when I am totally wrapped up in a code project and can't sleep when I can't get a particular query or code module to work properly.  I know it sounds a bit silly, but that's the strange world coders live in sometimes! 

I have been lucky enough to have had my physician give me a few samples to treat the symptoms that kind of look like this....(code steriods), ready to kill that butterfly!

These work real good too with a little Kettle One or Grey Goose.  Drinks
