Laziness is the lack of desire to act or to work, to stretch one's forces; tendency to rest, to do nothing.
Laziness is often considered a negative quality (see Seven deadly sins), as being unproductive.
On the other hand, moderate laziness might help to prevent people from spending too much time and energy doing unnecessary things; laziness may be a stimulus for finding alternative ways.
Apathy can sometimes be mistaken for Laziness.
Intellectual laziness is a specific form, the tendancy not to ask questions, and not to scratch too much behind the apparent, applying a kind of mental routine (availibility heuristic) or just following the crowd (herding)
Some people feel unable to relax and do nothing; they always worry about not using time for something useful. This is often associated with general anxiety disorder.
