What is the difference between tiredness and laziness? For me tiredness is something you feel exhausted to do the routine of chores over and over again. You wanted to take a break from it but the call to do it demands you to stay in line. Whereas, the laziness is simply unwillingness to work. You just want to be a couch potato and bum the whole day infront of a television. Sometimes you haven't seen the reason why you felt so tired and lazy. To overcome these habits, you only need to sleep right , exercise and eat healthy foods, so your energy will boost up. From now on, I will not let myself affected by that negative conciousness. How about you, do you feel that way too? How do you vercome it? Please share with us here.

Your interpretation of tiredness and laziness seems totally justified, after the days work, lectures, researh works i too get tired and feel exhausted, not always, only some days, laziness i feel if weather is foul or i have health issues, but i am active most of the days..

There is a big difference with tiredness and laziness. In my opinion they are miles apart from their definition. Tiredness is that you have done something before that makes you weak and unable to do other things. It is the state wherein your mind and your body may both be tired or just one of them. Laziness on the other hand is an attitude. I think if depends on the way of life you had or simply based on your character a as a person. But it does not mean that being lazy is totally bad. All of us, I know at some point feels really tired to do something due to some reasons we just know inside us. But too much laziness is being irresponsible and in some cases, lazy people just depend on others. If they are really tired then they should take a rest. But never ever use laziness as an excuse just because you want to avoid a responsibility. Too much use of the reason "tiredness" is also improper. So we should be all industrious most of the time and just be lazy about 5% and tired for about 30%, depending on your daily activities.

my mind is tired to think of any possible things about my life, like what happened after i give birth, if i will going have a safety delivery, if the money we have will be enough ans etc. and because my mind is tired thinking i become so lazy physically to do some work as all i want is to just lay on my bed and sleep, once your tired theres a tendency that you become lazy . though if a person is already lazy then no matter how tired or not he is he is still lazy as he is not productive.

There is a significant difference between being tired and being lazy. Being tired just means you lack the energy to continue. The driving force is still in your heart. When you are lazy, you have just given up. You have no ambition. To overcome laziness, you have to give yourself that extra push to motivate you.

tiredness is out of the stress from the work and laziness is out of no work.

I felt laziness and tiredness all the time. Gosh!it's just so frustrating sometimes but there are times that boredom dominated my system that I just want to stay in my room and sleep for a couple of hours before I do some household chores and other work ought to be done. I think, it is unavoidable especially during the time when I feel like I want to go in a different place away from the area I am living right now. I want to escape to a paradise-liked resort to unwind and recover from all these mess in my surroundings.

I think we feel tired when all our body muscles have given up and we do not have the courage to do something else and laziness is when we can do many things but do not wish to pursue them just because we are lazy. There are often works left aside because of laziness however there are little undone when we are tired.

You have axplaine the different and I agree with it.But maybe everyone had a different reason about why they were lazy or tired.Now, I was so tired after go to somewhere yesterday. So, I was lazy to do anything. I do not cooking and just clean home.But from your explaine maybe it is not lazy just because I feel tired.

Human body is not made to be exhausted, but human brain is. Laziness is the unwillingness of human brain to do something, and tiredness is another form of laziness, in which human brain supposes it has already worked a lot. But, as I said, tiredness is also a form of laziness. If you try, you can always get over tiredness also, as you can do over laziness.

Tired and lazy are different from each other. When you are tired it means you are so exhausted physically, mentally or maybe emotionally that you can't do or accomplish the task or job. When you feel tired you still want to do the job it's just that your body and mind may not function well or respond because you're so drained. When you just feel lazy it means you don't want to do the job at all. You can do it if you want to since your body and mind can function and respond well but for some reason you don't want them to do so. You just want to do something else which will not require too much effort like watching a movie or maybe sleep all day. :)

I am usually lazy. Laziness is my middle name. Lol. But I'm not proud of it. I do know how to do chores around the house, maybe I'm just used to having maids around me. I love sleeping too. I can sleep for up to 10 hours, and wake up still feeling tired. Hehe..

tiredness is due to less energy in body and mind. laziness is a habit of avoiding doing things or actions necessary for life.

a major difference is that tired people easily get irritated and lazy people rarely do. Tired people have their bodies or the heads aching and they have this constant want of lying down that they can't do, they are very frustrated because they cant rest that's why they're irritable Lazy people on the other hand, are usually calm and would always smile or talk absent mindedly when you ask them to do something. even if you start raisin your tone, they're still calm. That's because they are relaxed. I agree that sleeping right and a healthy diet will help your body a great deal, but for really off days, a whole body, aroma-therapy massage surely works for me

I think to be lazy means you just don't feel like doing something. Being tired is something different like you might be to tired to do something.
