Perebudeti

Perebudeti is a Russian verb that translates to "to oversleep" in English. It describes the act of sleeping longer than intended, often resulting in being late for an appointment, work, or school. The verb is derived from the prefix "pere-" which can indicate an excess or surpassing, and "budeti," meaning "to wake up."

The concept of oversleeping is a common human experience and can be attributed to various factors. These can include insufficient sleep the previous night, a disrupted sleep schedule, fatigue, or even illness. In Russian culture, like in many others, oversleeping is generally viewed negatively, as it implies a lack of discipline or responsibility.

There are no specific rituals or widely recognized cultural practices associated with perebudeti beyond the common advice for avoiding it, such as setting multiple alarms or establishing a consistent sleep routine. The word itself is straightforward in its meaning and usage within the Russian language.
