Dear all,

I’ve googled but got no answer.
Could it be that expats get up on time
And please make a sentence for me.
Thanks!
Debbie

sleepyhead.
Obama can be a sleepyhead sometimes and he would appreciate if Michelle could wake him up with her warm attention.

Re: Question
Dear Debbie,
You may also try the following:
sleep in: to sleep until after the time your usually get up in the moring; to sleep late on purpose
Ex.: After this week's work, I will sleep in on Saturday.
sleep late: sleep later than usual or customary
Ex.: We sometimes sleep late at the weekends (= until late in the moring).
Ex.: At weekends I like to sleep late.
lie in: to stay in bed after the time you usually get up
Ex.: It’s a holiday tomorrow, so you can lie in.
lie-in (n.): a time when you stay in bed longer than normal in the morning
Ex.: a Sunday morning lie-in
hit the snooze button
Ex.: I like to hit the snooze button. / I never hit the snooze button.
Ex.: If you had your choice, would you rather know how to wake up early or stop hitting the snooze button?
Ex.: Stop hitting the snooze button and awaken!
Actually we had a discussion over this issue on YOYO forum in 2007. Check it out:
