It's Saturday tomorrow, so you can lie in. "have a lie in"
Mañana es sábado así que podrás levantarte tarde.
to "lie in" is a phrasal verb and a "lie in" is a compound noun and they do not exist in Spanish.

In the US, we say to sleep in. And in Spanish it means "quedarse en la cama como una marmota",
