There is time to sleep and there is time to stay awake. The daytime is time to stay awake and work. The lazy man prefers to sleep when he should be working. The Bible says that the sluggard snuggles up in bed. He gives excuses for not waking up. "There is danger outside" he says, he turn in his bed as a door turns on it hinges. At the end of the day the lazy man is very poor and will end his days begging for food.
I had to work very hard to pass my exams during my university years. It was called "burning the midnight candle". Some students did not attend early lectures because they could not sacrifice their sleep. Because of their laziness a number of them had to repeat the whole session.

It is also sad to note that some people have become poor in their old age because they spent their youth "Sleeping" so to speak. The ant works very hard during the summer and prepare for the rainy day.
Work whilst it is still say for the night comes when no man can work.
