Yep. If you wanna get fit and healthy, the best thing to do is hit snooze.

Not, you know, all the time, but being properly rested is one of the key factors in a healthy person's life. The body needs proper rest to recover from a tough day, both mentally and physically. You can exercise all you like, but if you aren't getting your forty winks, your body is simply not going to be able to keep itself running in tip top condition.

It has also been shown that lack of sleep makes you crave unhealthy, calorie-dense foods. This is due to the fact that your body is so tired that it's looking for a quick fix energy boost in the form of simple carbs and sugars.

So, as part of your lazy-person-approved healthy lifestyle, you have a bulletproof excuse to sleep in til noon if you so wish.

As a lazy person, you've probably got this one nailed already, so just keep on hitting that snooze button for your one-way ticket to health.
