Lunesta, lullabies, or insomnia?

While I ate lunch today, I tried to be intellectual by reading the newspaper. Ok, so it was USA Today, which doesn't really lend itself to being a bastion of newsiness...but whatever.

As I read the Life section, I stumbled across an article about a new lullabye CD that our good friends at Rhino were soon releasing.

Are you ready for this? It's an adult lullabye CD. As in lullabies for adults. The artists? Celebrities! Featured on the CD are: Scarlett, Eric McCormack, Nia Vardalos, Uncle Jesse, Elaine from Seinfeld, Xena Warrior Princess, stupid Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Garner-Affleck, Ewan McGregor, and the dad from Alias.

My question (and I have several, but this is the most salient at the moment):

What adult in his/her right mind would purchase this (legitimately) and then actually listen to it as a sleep aid?

Whatever happened to Tylenol PM? Lunesta (one of my bff dressed up as the Lunesta butterfly for Halloween and her husband was an insomniac. Awesome. She must like theme costumes, as one Halloween when we were in college we dressed up, together, as vacation. That was also the year we saw Alf (in a toga) going at it (extremely inappropriately) against a column on the dancefloor with a girl in a toga. Ew.)? Noise machines? Passing out? Good old fashioned insomnia?

I'm not sure I'd want to be lulled to sleep by any of the above. Really.
