it's all about mental attitude. when you know you're going to work you develop a negative feeling and want to stay in bed. as to why you can't sleep when you're not at work - you're mad.

Sounds like me. I would say it's just natural. For me, working sucks and so of course I don't want to get up to do it. Plus I tend to go to sleep late anyway. Then on my days off, I can't sleep because my mind just keeps running through all the things that I want to do now that I have a bit of free time.
In that respect, I would say it's pretty much all a part of your mentality, just a natural sleep pattern of a working person.
Then again, maybe there's some actual medical answer to that, in that case I'd like to see it because I'm in the same situation.

I'm the same way.
I personally think it's because I'm excited to have my day off work. There's so much to do that can't be done during those other 6 days of the week that I just want to do everything that I want to leap out of bed and get to it. But during those other 6 days, I just want to hide under the covers.
And Sod's Law is Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong, will) and I don't know if that applies here.

It sounds like your natural sleep cycle is out of wack. I believe we have our own individual sleep cycles. I work Monday thru Fridays. On the weekend, I get out of bed in the morning no later than an hour past my work wake-up time.
If the time you get up for work is very different than the time you get up on your days off, that could be causing your problem.

Well that's like me with school. It's because you look forward to your day off so you wake up early. On work days your dread going so you want to sleep in later.

don't feel like the Lone Ranger
I get the same junk...your body clock is on a routine. maybe work brings stress that drains your energy.
What bugs me is not being able to sleep the night before an event. insomnia is the pits. Benyadril here I come

Its your body clock getting used to you getting up for work!
Have a nice hot milk and whiskey just beofre you go to sleep and that will make sure you wake up later than you needed to and help you relax to sleep.
Horlicks is also good as well

you would like to think that your body would have a day off, but no.....the day your body relaxs, it goes into spasm thinking why hasn,t it been woken yet, hence the reason you will often wake at the same time you usually get up for work on your day off. and yet the day you are supposed to wake, you tend to ignore the alsrm, this is your bodies way iof sayong....ok......but not yet...no panic....i will get up....eventuality....i have to pay the bills.....lol

Ah, the oldest philosophical conundrum of them all. I wake up at six in the bloody morning on Sunday, but oversleep every weekday. There's a difference between waking up and getting up of course!!!
