On a regular work day, my Wife gets up at 4am. I get up at 5am. So sleeping in is 6am. Which I do on the occasional weekend.
I have a SIL that sleeps into 10 or 11am regularly, and just can’t imagine that.
Leet the Wonder Dog[sup]TM[/sup] has not mastered the concept of “weekends”.
"It’s 6am, Grandpa. I’m hungry and I would like to Go Outside as you have taught me to do.
I have a cold wet nose, and a large pokey paw. Don’t make me use it!"

We have kids and cats - so never.
If the kids spend the night at their grandmothers and we lock the cats out I’m still conditioned to wake up around 6am, even if I want to sleep in, I can’t 
I’m a morning person whether I like it or not, apparently. Sometimes on a long vacation, I’ll start sleeping until almost 6:30am. Even when I’d really like more sleep, it’s just not going to happen in the morning.
Speaking of which, here I am. I’ve been awake for over an hour, even though I won’t have to go to work today on account of the blizzard.
I’m unemployed and live with my mom
I sleep in every day
Any early risers who want to see all the visible planets at once, the next few weeks are your chance. I was just out, and Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter were arrayed across the sky. (I couldn’t find a place within walking distance where I could have a good enough view of the horizon to see Mercury as well. Mercury’s a bit of a PITA to spot because there’s such a short interval between when it rises and when it gets washed out by daylight well before the sun rises.) Venus and Jupiter are can’t-miss-it bright; Mars must be on the far side of the solar system because there are stars that are just as bright right now, but its reddish color (and the fact that it’s exactly where the link above says it should be, along the arc of the ecliptic between Venus and Jupiter, a bit closer to Jupiter than Venus) help identify it. And once you’ve got Mars, you can pick out Saturn, which is about 2/5 of the way from Venus to Mars along the arc of the ecliptic.
Kinda cool really. Next weekend if we get a clear sky in the early morning, I think I’ll drive down to the beach along the Chesapeake one early morning, and get an unimpeded view of the eastern horizon. Should be able to pick out Mercury with no problem.
Me too–I was awake around 5:30 even though gov’t offices are still closed and I wouldn’t have to go farther to get to work than the laptop downstairs. I didn’t bother getting up until after 6:30, when the little kitties started crying for their breakfast.
On workdays I get up when I need to, whether that’s 3am or 10am.
On my copious off days I wake up when I wake up. Today that was 5:45. Yesterday is was 7:45. So far this year the range is 5am to 755am with the average around 6am
I normally wake early as in before dawn but sometimes I don’t for no apparent reason. I’m almost always refreshed and alert and vertical promptly after I do wake up; lazing in bed is for losers and ill people.
By far the worst years of my life were spent with a fixed 8-5 MF schedule and everything about my body is happier when it’s away from that schedule.
Sleeping in for me is sleeping until 7 a.m. or later. So I do get to sleep in on weekends. I usually get up with my kids (9 and 6 years old) for a few reasons.
-
If I sleep later than 7 or 8, I feel terrible for the rest of the day. I don’t know why it is, but I feel vaguely hungover and headachey for the rest of the day if I sleep too late.
-
I haven’t yet put parental controls on the TV, so there is a possibility they would be able to hang around and watch something I don’t want them seeing.
-
I feel like I’ve lost half the day if I sleep in and I don’t like it, even if I don’t do anything particularly productive the first part of the day. At least I had the option.
Every Sunday. I draw the curtains before bed as my bedroom window faces east and then get up when I wake up - which is usually around 9 am. Then I get up, make a pot of tea, grab something to read and toddle back to bed for another hour to sit and read and sip tea.
Bro, you just wrote my manifesto.
To everyone else: what do you consider “sleeping in?” I work second shift, so I get up every day around 9:30 or 10:00. You morning glories might consider that sleeping in, but I get up at 9:30-10:00 on the weekends too, so for me it’s my normal daily schedule.
I routinely sleep until 8:30 or after. My normal bedtime is around 1 AM.
I wondered the same thing. And how much of “sleeping in” is about simply getting more hours of sleep, rather than which timespan holds the extra hours?
To me, it means I don’t have to set an alarm the night before, or get up at any particular time the next day. That usually translates to sleeping till at least noon on Saturday, sometimes later into the afternoon.
