sleeps in

Gets up late

To sleep in is to stay in bed later than usual, either intentionally or by accident: I'm going to sleep in on Saturday, Sorry I'm late—I slept in.

The phrase can mean oversleeping when you should be up, or simply enjoying a leisurely morning.

In another sense, someone who sleeps in lives at their place of employment: a nanny who sleeps in.
