(As an American, I say "on weekends" not at weekends, so I'm going to use that form.)
On weekends, I don't like to sleep late.
Your first one is ungrammatical (to my ear) and your second one is unnatural and awkward.
If you need to emphasize that your preference is to NOT sleep late, then say "I like to get up early."
