* Sasha overslept and missed her biology exam. Do you think her professor will
let her take it another day?
to sleep in – to sleep later than usual

Hi,
Sleeping in is something that you do on purpose because you want to. Oversleeping is when you accidentally sleep to late.

Oversleeping is sleeping too much which could make someone late for an activity or make someone feel extra tired.
sleeping in is sleeping until the point your body wakes you up naturally - typically people wake up from alarms for a job so they dont sleep in
