Answer:

Sentence number 3

Explanation:

The answer is sentence number 3, <em>because it repeats, i.e. summarizes the information already said in the previous two sentences.</em> It was already stated that she woke up "early", and that she "usually slept in later on the weekend", and sentence number 3 is just paraphrasing these two statements.
