Sleeping through a Zman
Here is a hypothetical case -- I get home from work on June 22 and I'm bushed. Totally knackered and it is only 5:30. I'm afraid, though, that I won't be able to fall asleep again tonight so I take a sleeping pill just to make sure. And out I go.
I sleep from 6PM all the way through until 7AM, unable to be woken because of the combination of the pill and my recent insomnia. I could not, therefore have davened maariv, because I was asleep for the entire span of time during which one is required to daven.
Do I say tashlumin during Shacharit? I would assume "yes" because I didn't daven, but is this impacted by the fact that I was (in a strange and possibly extra-halachic sense) never "required" to daven maariv because he wasn't awake (and couldn't be awoken) to have the obligation start?
