I haven't read many comments on this, but I agree that this is not about any lazy person. I think that it is about someone who is unconscious to the world as a whole and all the beautiful things that expanding your perceptions can bring. In short, I think it's about ignorance and how some people see it as bliss.
What I thought was really fun about this song was that at about 2:03, the backwards guitar is playing at the end of the chorus and then you can hear one of them yawn. When I heard this for the first time I yawned after I heard it. I think that the Beatles were trying to make the listener yawn.
