To sleep in means to stay in bed longer than you usually do in the morning. It's when you don't get up at your normal time, but instead, you stay in bed for a longer period of time. It's like having a little extra rest before starting your day.
Remember, sleeping in occasionally is okay, but try not to make it a habit. Consistent oversleeping can disrupt your daily routine and make it harder to wake up on time in the future.
