Shabbos Snooze Button

The Rama"h (או"ח סי' רפ"א) writes:
"It is customary to go to Shul later on Shabbos than during the week because by the daily [korban] tamid the Torah uses the word 'in the morning,' whereas by the Shabbos korban it just says '...and on the day of Shabbos' [without the word 'morning']. This textual change indicates [that on Shabbos one] delays."
It's not all about coming to Shul later. The Mordechai (שבת פ' כל כתבי רמז שצ"ח), who is the source of this statement, quotes in the name R"i B. R. Yehudah in the city of Rome from the mouth of R. Hai Gaon that "on Shabbos we sleep more." Indeed, the Shalo"h (מס' שבת פרק נר מצוה) writes "On the day of Shabbos, do not get up early in the morning as on the regular days of the week..."
ועי' דרכי משה סי' רפ"א סק"א ובב"ח, דרישה סק"א ופרישה סק"א שם, ושאר נו"כ שו"ע
ועי' שו"ע אדה"ז סי' רפ"א וערוך השולחן סי' רפ"א
ועי' מנהגי מהרי"ל הל' שבת סי' ל"ז, הובא בהג"ה על השל"ה שם
ועי' שו"ת רדב"ז ח"ב סי' תרי"ד

  1. The title is a bit deceiving. Shabbos snooze pertains to taking a nap during the day on Shabbos, what your post suggests is that we merely sleep longer and get up a bit later.
