If you miss the Friday prayer due to being overcome by sleep, then there is no sin upon you, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens," and his saying: "Indeed, there is no negligence in sleep; negligence is only in wakefulness." Your prayer of Dhuhr as four rak'ahs after missing Jumu'ah was correct.
