sleeping in
Skipping the alarm
Sleeping in is staying in bed later than usual, typically on a day off or when no obligations demand early rising.
It suggests a deliberate choice to extend rest rather than oversleeping by accident: I'm sleeping in tomorrow—don't call before noon.
The phrase often carries connotations of indulgence or recovery: After that week, I needed to sleep in.
