Not a response to your question but it reminds me of something I saw on Internet (probably made up but cute.)

A professor asked his students to write an essay on the difference between ignorance and apathy. One kid wrote the best paper and got an A. He wrote..."I don't know and I don't care" grin

Noun

listlessness - a feeling of lack of interest or energy languor, lassitude

apathy - an absence of emotion or enthusiasm

  1. listlessness

listlessness - inactivity resulting from lethargy and lack of vigor or energy torpidness, torpor, torpidity

passivity, passiveness - the trait of remaining inactive; a lack of initiative

Apathy is only one context of listlessness. As Maria states it is commonly used to describe a physical condition, as well as a mental condition.

Sugar, caffeine, adrenaline or rest can solve the physical condition.
