Based on the available research and your professional experience, where is the limit between pathology and "laziness" when it comes to this subject?

By "clinophilia", I mean staying in bed all day, as in as in 90% of the day.

I'm particularly interested in your opinion for cases where there are no symptoms besides extreme clinophilia (no signs of depression or schizophrenia etc). Is that even possible in the first place?

My question was removed from r/askpsychology I'm not sure why

Is staying in bed that much necessarily pathological / means that something is wrong?

If it’s a normal behaviour, how do psychiatrists tell if someone is actually ill versus just being incredibly lazy?
