Olanzapine: It is not clear for why you have been taking for 14 years olanzapine. You should not worry about missing a dose, but definitely the right time to review with your prescriber options going forward as dose might need to be reviewed, having it replaced or simply stopped.

No problem: I don’t see a significant problem here missing a few doses. You may want to set your phonei to alarm to remind you when to take your medicine, even if you fall asleep
