Can't explain why else I wouldn't wake up (happend twice to me, both times without any important appointment fortunately). Don't think that my AC just doesn't work every now and then.
I do the same thing, and drink a pint of water before bed, and get obscenely loud clocks, and leave my door unlocked so my roommates can grab me on the way to class etc.
I was in a program a bit like ROTC on steroids when I was younger, and it was the first time I realized what a monstrous pain in the ass I am to wake up, and how odd my sleep habits are.
At boot camp, people noticed I was standing two and sometimes three watches a night, which was a bit odd as I was only scheduled for one. As it turns out, I can apparently walk, talk, and put on my uniform in my sleep, walk around the barracks and say "nothing to report" to the petty officer in charge of the log once every ten minutes. This is also where we learned I'm a master manipulator when I'm trying not to wake up, as evidenced by me being confronted by the company commander and feigning illness well enough that I woke up about an hour later in medical, with zero memory of any of it.
I normally have two or three devices with multiple alarms set scattered around the room at hideous volume, set to go off at staggered intervals of two minutes, but it turns out my new alarm system isnt nearly loud enough to wake me. The neighbors, on the other hand, seem to be less than fond of it.
Oh well
