Does he have sleep apnea? Has he had a sleep test done?
If he has sleep apnea and doesn't get treatment, he will suffer long term health problems and will be shortening his life. I and other males I know have sleep apnea. Many resisted going in for testing and treatment. Every one of us agrees that we feel much better after getting treatment (cpap or surgery for example).
I'm not certain what you mean when you say he is lazy but sleep disorders can definitely affect a person's energy levels. If by embarrassment, you mean that he nods off or goes to sleep in ackward social situations, this is again part of sleep apnea and something he can't help unless he gets treatment.
Does he snore loudly (sometimes to the point where he wakes himself up)? Does he wake up choking and gasping for air? Tell him this will all go away if he gets treatment. It's worth it. Otherwise down the road, he may start to suffer worse things like heart problems.

His sleeping disorder probably causes him to be very fatiqued during the day....he may not really be lazy, but he just doesn't have the energy because of the lack of quality sleep. It may also lead to depression and then feeling like an embarrassment to others probably doesn't help. Try talking to him in a nonjudgemental way and tell him you are concerned for his health (it really is a health issue) and ask if there is some way to make it easier for him to seek treatment....maybe he's more energetic at a certain time of day, or maybe he'd prefer going with or without someone. Sometimes the people that need the most help are the ones least able to help themselves.

My husband's sleeping disorder (possibly apnea and snoring) improved after he checked positive for allergy to the gluten grains (wheat, rye, oatmeal and barley) and they are in everything.
So go to www.hufa.org, and look in the library and pick a low sugar diet and modify it further by removing the gluten grains, and feed him plenty of food - but just the "right" kinds.
You may be surprised how it helps his lazyness too.

You can't FORCE him to seek help. Sleep in another room and let him suffer, as really, if he does not want to help himself there is nothing much you can do. He sounds stubborn. Good luck.

It would be helpful if you had mentioned what the disorder was... so someone would know how to help you.

Sleep in a different room - it shouldn't take too long.

You can't help those who won't help themselves.
