      it could be simply lack of motivation or it could be due to lethargy or lack of energy, is a common phenomenon found in the society, today. Almost every person feels sluggish, uninterested or inactive at some point of time in their life, or the other. This ‘worn out’ feeling arises mainly due to exertion. Lethargy or fatigue can be of two types – physical fatigue, or the inability to continue functioning at the level of one’s normal abilities, and mental fatigue, which is mainly concerned with the lack of sleep. More than a disorder, in itself, lethargy is usually a symptom of other ailments.

      Having no sense of purpose in life is also a reason. Where there is no motivation, people would rather take things easy. Its fine to be lazy some of the time but ambition and motivation is what get you places in life whereas laziness tends to keep you on the couch-also laziness can lead to obesity and even precursors of diseases such as cardiovasular disease and psychological illness such as depression.

      maybe if we all had one of these following us around every now and again it might help!!
