Christian comedian Jonnie W. recounted his hilarious experience with melatonin, a supplement commonly used to help people fall asleep.

For whatever reason, some people can have problems getting to sleep at night. Anyone who has ever experienced a bout of insomnia understands how frustrating and maddening this situation can be. All you want to do is get some much-needed shuteye. Instead of closing your eyes and drifting off to dreamland, you toss and turn late into the night and early morning.

Of course, there are several ways to combat insomnia. However, by far, the most popular is taking melatonin. It's a readily and widely available supplement. Whether it works or not depends on the individual. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jonnie W. explains that he took melatonin when he was having trouble getting to sleep and because, as he states, he’s in his 40s. He hysterically points out that it did work but probably a little too good.

"Now I take stuff to sleep. Anybody take stuff to sleep?" Jonnie W. asks. "Old people do this; I'm in my 40s now. You got to."

He adds that he picked up a bottle of melatonin, and it ended up being much more intense than described.

"I wanted to go, like, herbal," he says. "So, I went to Walgreens and got me a $5 bottle of melatonin. Anybody take melatonin? I thought, 'How bad could it be for 5 dollars?' Well, I'll tell ya how bad."

He mentions that he experienced some frightening dreams while taking the supplement.

"Turns out it makes you have, like, vivid dreams," he said. "Anybody have really vivid dreams on melatonin? And if you have night terrors like I do, it just cranks them up to a whole other level. So, now I see the thing standing at the foot of the bed but because I'm on melatonin, I sleep all the way through the night. I'm trapped."
