No.
I understand he is exhausted by sleeping in until noon or 1 or 2 is just lazy. Why can't he just sleep in till 10 am?
Help us understand why you care...? Are you bored? Lonely? Unattracted to a man who wants to spend his time this way? Solutions are going to flow from this root cause, because on his end he just sounds tired from a demanding job.

It's not fair, but it's the best I could do. Now the kids are older - 7 & 10 - that they don't need someone to actually get up right when they do. I sleep in for a while (still not as late as he does) so it's better but not through any help from my husband. He's still takes them out in the early afternoon for a while though because I need time to myself.
I actually think that’s fair since he takes them out so you get alone time.

We have kids and alternate who sleeps in. It annoys me on week days. Currently I nurse the infant at 7am, dress him, then leave for work and dump him on DH. DH has to take the infant and toddler to daycare. I enjoy that part because it means he has to get up. No one can ignore a crying infant in their room!

Yes, depends if you have kids.
I LOVE to sleep in (but that means until 9 or 10). DH is an early bird even on weekends.
Once we had kids we worked it out so that I got one weekend morning to sleep in uninterrupted. On his morning he was still up early but could do as he pleased for them morning--gym, work, whatever.

I find it is lazy and I wish we could do something productive on weekend mornings.
Should I let it go? Or nag him?
When does he go to bed? Does he drink?

Find an activity you enjoy to do in the mornings without him.

How does anyone sleep that long? He should see a doctor.
