Nobody in 121 has to do this BS anymore (if you don't want to). This is a clear fatigue risk since in keeping with your professional obligations you adjusted your sleep cycle to support the 0300-1500 duty window since that was your assigned schedule.
Call in fatigued wherever you happen to be at around 1900.
You may THINK the company can get away with this crap, but after Colgan the FAA is all over fatigue especially at regionals. Do an ASAP/ASRS every time you call in fatigued...the FAA pays attention.
If you're getting pressure about making fatigue calls, drop a dime to the POI.
