sleep late

Without a context, I would say the same thing. ( I mean, go to bed late)

I guess it means "to go to bed late"

Without any context to indicate something different, I'd interpret 'sleep late' to mean 'wake up late'. In other words, 'sleep longer into the morning than usual'.

Hi Amy, if you say "I slept late yesterday" - it means "I woke up late yesterday"?

Yes, Pucca, exactly! That is precisely what I understand from your sentence.

If I wanted to tell you that I went to sleep later than usual, I might say one of these, for example:

I went to bed late.
I couldn't get to sleep until late.

LoL - I must thank the authour of the thread, I've been using "Sleep late" wrongly so far!

Thanks Amy! [F]

Hi,
it's simple if you know what "stay up late" means. It means to stay up until it's late, so you go to bed later than usual.
So "sleep late" is "to sleep until it's late", that is, you wake up later than usual.

Also, note that "sleep late" is different from "oversleep." You can "sleep late" intentionally, but to "oversleep" means to sleep longer than you intended (and maybe be late for something as a result.)
I like to sleep late on the weekend.
I'm sorry I was late for the 8 a.m. meeting -- I forgot to set my alarm clock and I overslept.

Thanks everybody.
