lie-ins

Sleeping past alarm

Lie-ins are mornings spent staying in bed longer than usual, especially on weekends or days off: I treasure my Saturday lie-ins.

The term is primarily British.

A lie-in protest is a different sense—a demonstration where participants lie down in a public space to block access or draw attention to a cause.
