Answer 1

The rooster is the widely known symbol as the animal that awakes people with his c**k-a-doodle-doo sound. In the context of the statement silencing  a rooster, this implies that if you keep the rooster quiet you, and others, will remain asleep. The Internet identifies examples that are meant to be humorous regarding how to silence your rooster, for example, dynamite; rocks; wife’s cooking; etc.... News archives identify similar terms and examples dating back to the early - mid 1900s.

More directly to answer your question, Sanofi-Aventis uses this concept for marketing their sleeping medication AmBienCR; whose sponsors the web page SilenceYourRooster.com. The relationship here is that by taking their medicine you will be able to "silence" your “rooster” figuratively the rooster may be insomnia; and therefore you will sleep.

Answer 2

getting a good night sleep

Answer 3

It is an ad for not getting caught playing with your rooster, just remember if you touch it more than twice you are playing with it!

Answer 4

the rooster symbolizes the dude's insomnia.  He can't get to sleep because the rooster (insomnia) keeps him up in different ways like setting off his car alarm or turning on the hair dryer.  If you go to www.silenceyourrooster.com you will find all the tv clips, a rooster game (where you whack a rooster with a pillow, "silencing" your rooster and ending your insomnia), and a coupon for Ambien CR.

Answer 5

LOL.  This ad is a joke for advertising sleeping pills

I just seen this ad and Google it.  

Just checkout www.silenceyourrooster.com and you will see this is all over a sleeping pill

Answer 6

It is an advertisement for a medication you can give to your rooster so that it sleeps through the night. That way, your rooster won't keep you up at night by setting off your neighbors car alarm, turning the hair dryer on, or telephoning you from a pay phone across the street. I have found that by reducing the amount of coffee my rooster drinks helps him sleep better at night. I don't think roosters need medication to help them sleep.
