Is he considered sinful who misses performing the Fajr prayer on time due to sleep, even though he set an alarm to wake up?

If you made an effort to wake up for Fajr prayer and took the necessary measures, but then sleep overwhelmed you, there is no sin upon you. However, whoever neglected to take the necessary measures or whose sleep prevented them from praying due to staying up late, then they are sinful.
