It is obvious he partied all night after a late shoot. "I took a sleeping pill and it didn't kick in until now" is just a polite way of saying partying was more important to me than this commercial. The man was a known alcoholic.

I once drank a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, and then fell asleep about 2-3 hours later.

A few hours later, (about 6 after drinking all of the Mountain Dew,) I pooped. As everything moved in my insides, the caffeine finally hit me all at once.

So it's completely possible for a sleeping pill to sit in Well's stomach for a few hours before he finally absorbed it. I wouldn't attribute any malintent on his part here.
