It is common to get tired with all the weekly daily work and then we get holidays on weekends. So, it is normal to spend most of the free time on weekends sleeping? Or that time should also be used to do something productive. Personally, I feel that it differs from one person to another. What category you belong to and why ?
 
I can’t sleep more than 6 hours a day. Doesn’t matter if it’s a week day or the weekend. I’ve been looking more into increasing this and if you haven’t already, here’s a wonderful breakdown by Andrew Huberman :

 
Well i like to be productive all the time but if my body feel the need to sleep then i sleep ,sometimes if you force to work too much then you will sleep more as you will be very tired
 
On the two days a week that I have to wake up to an alarm, I wake up right before it everytime. This morning, a morning that I don't have to wake up early, I woke up way before daylight... More time to work I guess
 
@Yes gave a perfect resource for this.
TL;DR it's perfect if you can maintain the same schedule regardless of the day of the week.
Go to bed at the same time, and wake up at the same time, Monday or Sunday.

There's no sleep bank, or catching up to do. You can't recover the hours you didn't sleep and the body has no clue about that.
If you drink coffee, you need 7 to 8 hours. If you're addiction free, 6 hours is perfect.

Less than 6 hours, you're killing yourself slowly both physical and mental.

An additional resource recommended by Huberman would be this

I do it 2-3 times a week whenever I feel sleepy but don't want to sleep.

If you're having problems getting up on the weekends, or feeling lazy, get some sun in your eyes first thing in the morning, and try to look up in the sky. Also walk, outside or inside. The fact that your eyes see forward movement will help your brain signal you it's waking up time, not sleepy time.
 
I do everything as needed. When I feel that I can work, then I do it, if I feel sleepy, then I sleep.
 
I either watch amazon prime or sleep during day and night. You should sleep its fine
