What would you call a good lie in?

I usually get up at about 9am every day. I get a lie in on Thursdays (plus obviously the weekend) and usually stay in bed until 11am.
 
In my old RAF days during some conflict or other I'd been flying or on standby to fly for very long periods for about 2 weeks. I don't remember the exact times but I guess I went 2 weeks with 2 to 3 hours sleep a day/night. We were stood down and after a skin full of booze I slept uninterrupted for 21 hours. Now that was a lie in!
 
About 3 hours after you would normally get up. So, for most people, that would be about 10-ish.

Me? I fly through time zones for fun, so on the road the mantra is "Sleep when I'm tired, eat when I'm hungry!" When I get home from a trip to Asia, the missus knows not to schedule ANYTHING for the day after I get home, because I'm staying in bed until I'm good and ready to get up! No power tools, no financial decisions when you get up, either!!
 
as i get up at 4-30 every work day, mon - fri, i tend to get up at 8-30 to take dogs out for a walk, get papers and have a coffee, before i go shopping
 
I just can't sleep in. My body clock's pretty good, and it messes me up big time.

I work an early (7:30am) or a late (11am) shift on alternate days. It messes me around big time. For example, today I'm on a late, but I woke up at 5:30am and I can't get back to sleep. I'd love to lie in until 9am, but it's no use.

Suppose midday's a good lie in time. Or if I'm hungover, 7pm's pretty early to get out of bed!
 
My body clock is fucked im up at 5am every day for work and ive got a 2 year old at home so anything beyond 7am is like heaven.

If ive been on the piss and rolled in at 4/5am ill be lucky to sleep past 9am, in fact I can only remember 1 time in the past year or so that I actually slept til 10am!
 
What the fuck is a lie in??

5.30-6.00am with my 2 ankle biters....

Lie ins are for puffs!

No offence meant to any of our homosexual bluemoon members :-)
 
Best lie in I know

Anything past 7:30 is too much. However I do like to stay in bed and read does that count? If so then 9 or 10
 
I'm a night owl, always have been and always will be. I'm lucky if I sleep before 2am (during the week) A good lie in is anywhere between 12pm and 2pm on weekends after falling asleep at 4-5am

I can't understand why anyone (barring shift workers or parents with a baby in the house) can stay in the kip after 9am. I get up at 6:20 on weekday mornings, so I enjoy the bit of extra time in the sack come the weekend. However, once 8:30-8:45 comes around, it's time to get up.

Anything after 7am is just wasting the day!
 
depends, after a heavy nights boozing well into the early hours, 2-3pm is standard.

going to bed around 12-1am on a weekend sober, i'd say 10-11am.

9 hours is when i feel my best i'd say.
 
I can never stay in bed past about 9. At weekends i tend to get up at about 8 and slope downstairs for some breakfast, then watch TV on the couch with intermittent snoozing until about 10:30.
 
Once Im awake I cant get back to sleep so usually I wake up at 9ish on my weekends anyway. A good lie in would be a solid 12 hours sleep
