No caffeine, work out, get outside around sundown, take like half a NyQuil dose at 10pm, read in bed.

Lol, half a dose? More like 2-3 doses. Just watch the acetaminophen levels and you're good.
Set an alarm? Maybe I'm not understanding the problem. Set an alarm, get up when it goes off.
I can't speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven't slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I've just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.
Sleeping over alarms? That's easy to fix. One should attach an electrode to his body and charge the capacitor on the other end of the wire. The capacitor is powered by a battery on one side, just to keep the capacitor charged. Then, in the middle of the wire, there's a relay/transistor that passes current at 3AM, the control signal is sent by an Arduino or something else with a clock. It will pass through the body a short electrostatic discharge needed to shock the body that would be painful but not causing any injury.
Not an electrician. This may be useful, but without warranty.
But OP is saying she got plenty of sleep today. Shouldn't be too tired to wake up tomorrow?
I think OP's major problem will be falling asleep again (given how late it is) to then be able to wake up on time with enough sleep to function through the day.
And, from my experience, sleep (or better: your desire to fall asleep or ability to wake up at specific time) does not correlate to tiredness. Sure, there is some dependency on that, but it's just one of the factors.
I am assuming he won't be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn't go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I'd figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.
Ah, never had that problem. I'm like a soldier, I can always sleep.
As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age...
It is a problem.
I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.
Give up on life. Hope for reincarnation so that I can do better the next go-around.

Be active throughout the rest of the day. Then go to bed. You probably needed the sleep anyway so you'll fall asleep again.
So a typical Sunday, then?
Wonder what happened to my kid and dog. Also rejoice that I can sleep in tomorrow.

Stay up until 11 and get back on schedule.
Get 4 hours of sleep and call it normal.
Sweet, just enough time to get hammered before bed.
Go to bed at 11. I donβt really see that as being that hard. Start prepping for sleep an hour ahead of time. Put down the screens and maybe read a book. Take some melatonin.

As one of those "morning people" I would be seriously weirded out if I woke up at 3pm - honestly I'd be really worried if I was drugged or something because waking up after 7am is unusual for me. So to answer your question seriously; it would be to take extra security precautions the next time I fell asleep.
I'll just skip the night π
Assuming an 8 hour workday, and allowing an hour for getting ready in the morning and commuting to work, that means OP has been awake for 24 hours at the end of their work day. Thatβs a serious amount of sleep deprivation for one not used to it. Depending on the type of work and the commute I wouldnβt recommend that. Getting a little sleep is better than none, even if it doesnβt feel like that when getting up.

Take some Melatonin at 5pm and go to sleep at around 10pm
Considering I slept 2 hours (1-3 PM) I would go to bed at 10-11 PM and still be fine. If I sleep more than 2 hours, well, go to bed anyways but don't push myself that hard to sleep
