To oversleep is to sleep longer than you meant to. You planned to get up — an alarm, a class, a train — and you did not. The usual result is being late. It is an everyday verb; nobody thinks it is fancy. I oversleep; I overslept yesterday; I have overslept again. It is about time, not about sleeping deeply or sleeping well. If you chose to stay in bed, people more often say you slept in. Though actually, plenty of people still say "I overslept" when they are being kind to themselves about being late. You oversleep; you do not "oversleep a sleep." The person does it, not the night.
