Start over. Most often the droop is from overwatering, then turns into damping off

Prop it up with a cocktail stick and see what happens.
A picture would be useful though

It hasn't fallen over, it's still standing on the main stem. The leaves have gone impotent.
I'll have to pull it out of the tent. Is that okay? It's supposed to be on the sleep schedule right now. Seedling is only about a week and a half old, like two inches tall.

Doesn't really matter if its in dark period or not but there's no rush.
Time will tell anyway
If it's not gone totally limp then it may still survive.
I'm assuming it's in some kind of shock, as all of my research has indicated that underwatered plants perk back up within a couple of hours of being given water.
Edit: I took some pics. The first three are of the plant in question. I took a pic of the other plant for comparison, that one was drooping too, although not as much. It did perk back up when I checked on it some hours later.

Could be. It doesn't have the capacity for quick recovery atm so see what happens.
Certainly a positive it's stem has not shrivelled up
They weren't drenched. I use a spray bottle to mist the top of the soil. I sprayed fewer times than normal because I thought I might've been spraying a little too much and came back to that result.

Ok. Could be many things. The droopy plant does look overwatered regardless. The drippy leaves, warped look - classic symptoms. Soil could be too hot too. Good luck!
