lassitude

Heavy, listless fatigue

Lassitude is a state of physical or mental weariness, a lack of energy or enthusiasm.

The word suggests a deeper exhaustion than ordinary tiredness—something closer to listlessness or torpor: The summer heat brought on a pleasant lassitude.

It often implies an inability or unwillingness to exert oneself: After the crisis passed, a strange lassitude settled over the office.
