National Lazy Day is marked annually on Aug. 10 to bring into focus people who spend a lot of time doing nothing and just choosing to stay in their bed or on couches. Bring out your inner couch potato and celebrate this day.

The origins of National Lazy Day are unknown, but this day can be honored by being a lazy good-for-nothing and just relaxing. While many people see laziness as a problem, sometimes it allows the body to rejuvenate and restore its balance and energy.
