eli5: Why do we always get strong urge to be lazy if its better for the brain to be active

Question

I mean its so much better for the brain to be active working doing useful things stimulating your brain or working out, we all have a reward system and everytime we finish a task we feel a sense of accomplishment but everytime you should be doing something that you know will feel good in the end you just get this urge of doing nothing today and just relaxing,
shouldnt our brain be chasing this sense of accomplishment? Where does this feeling come from

You can watch yourself all the episodes of “naked and afraid”

Buff and stong hyperactive people don’t last 3 days with their hard work. Meanwhile, there was a dude that didn’t even built a shelter, almost slept 21 days straight under a palm and won.

The life saving process is: “is there anything here that’s super easy to do and gives a reward? No? Ok do nothing, save those calories for the right occasion”
