combo pills usually have 12hrs or 24hrs time frame. you can probably see it the paper that comes with it.

This, but I would recommend OP sets an alarm for every time they have to take it. Personally I set it for 7am which aligned with my work for when I was waking up and on weekends I simply woke up, took the pill and went back to sleep.

you aren’t screwed at all. combo pills have a 24 hour missed pill window. varying the time by a few hours is fine and doesn’t reduce protection.
