Be Lazy Live Longer

[SpectBrain]

This article from the News.Telegraph (UK) is the best news that I’ve heard in years. I no longer have to defend my right to be a couch potato! Now I have a legitimate reason.

To illustrate the theory that laziness equals longevity, The Joy of Laziness also suggests that early risers are more prone to stress and that late sleepers live longer because they conserve their energy. “People who would rather laze in a hammock instead of running a marathon, or who take a nap instead of playing squash, have a better chance of living into old age.”

I’d like to add that I believe that there’s nothing wrong with moderate exercise such as walking around the neighborhood or getting up off the couch to manually change the channel on the TV.

Nah, that’s too much trouble. I’m just going to lay here on the couch, if that’s all right with you.

You’re actually lying on the couch? That’s too effort for me. I’ll just lie here on the floor. I’ve noticed that if I breathe in just the right direction I can push around all the dust bunnies under the couch. Maybe I can round them all up into a pile and then brush them under the rug with my foot, so I won’t have to sweep.

I’m going to live forever.
