How adverse are you to taking other medications to help with sleep?
Mescaline is usually considered to be a 12 hour trip, so you should be mostly back by 10/11pm.
If there is residual stimulation, benadryl, alprazolam, cannabis, or melatonin all should knock you out.
If you're opposed to that kind of thing (as a rule, I like to be substance-free for a while after a trip, for example, and don't take things for the comedown), I would say give yourself more time. Why do you need to be asleep by 12? You're still likely to be fuzzy the next day - many psychedelics have a bit of a cognitive hangover (eg: I usually have difficulty focusing of a day or so after dosing). If you have something to do one day, don't go tripping the day before. You might be off the next day, and anxiety about performance could color your trip.
Also, we don't do all that SWIM/hypothetical stuff here. I use drugs, you use drugs, it's not anything to be ashamed of. It's a forum for psychedelic enthusiasts, you can own your interests.
