Conditionals

Which conditional shoulld we use in these examples
1. We expect Mary to be here soon.If she(not arrive),weEmotion: phone her.
2.I sleep badly.If I (not get) enough sleep,I(not get) much work done.
3.Jenny is very sociable.If you(ask) her to a party,she(always come).
my opinion is that we should use 2 conditional,and for the 2 and 3 i am not sure whether it is 0 or 1 conditional.As a whole when do use 0 conditional and can we use it for sentences like the third and second one.It will be better for me if the person who answers me explains why does he think like that.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Always leave a space after periods, commas and other sentence punctuation.

1. We expect Mary to be here soon. If she doesn't arrive,we will phone her.-- Simple future possibility. (1st C.)

2.I sleep badly. If (= when) I don't get enough sleep, I don't get much work done.-- Timeless present. (Zero C.)

Thank you . But shouldn't we use 2nd conditional for the first one, because it is more possible that she will come,so it is unlikely that she won't come and we use 2nd conditional for actions that are unlikely to happen

No. Do not confuse grammar with real life. The person has not arrived. She may or may not do so, by the laws of physics-- that is all we know.
