sleeping late
Ignoring the alarm
Sleeping late means remaining asleep past one's usual waking time, or past what others consider a reasonable hour: I slept late and missed the morning meeting.
The phrase can suggest indulgence or laziness, though it also describes simply not being an early riser.
What counts as late depends on context—sleeping until noon on a workday differs from sleeping until eight on a Sunday.
