A lot of dragons in fiction are lazy creatures who don't do much apart from guarding their hoards.
This typically translates into a sleeping dragon who has been slumbering for millennia, curled atop a pile of treasure in some deep and distant corner of the land (although he will probably get woken up during the plot's unfolding, and that's probably bad news). Their long (sometimes millennia-long) sleep may be handwaved as dragons being so long-lived that a century-long nap is a reasonable hibernation time for them. In some settings, this will be linked to the dragons' age, with younger specimens being more active in the world but spending longer and longer periods of time sleeping or idling in their lairs as they age.
On the other hand, more comedic examples will take full advantage of the comedic potential of these gigantic hellbeasts acting like grouchy old men who never want to go out.
May be based on the Truth in Television that snakes (on whom the earlier European dragons were based) and, indeed, most reptiles, are prone to laying down for hours on end to conserve energy or to warm themselves up. Many reptiles are also ambush predators, lying still so that prey doesn't see them. In fact, crocodilians may be the closest thing to real-life Lazy Dragons due to this. Catlike Dragons are also prone to this portrayal, since Cats Are Lazy.
Naturally a subtrope of Our Dragons Are Different. Often combined with Orcus on His Throne, All-Powerful Bystander and/or The Gods Must Be Lazy, depending on the power level, intelligence and general monstrosity and morality of dragons in the setting. On the other hand, very rarely related to Dragon Their Feet, despite the names' similarities. For other lazy creatures, see Cats Are Lazy, Sluggish Seal, and Laid-Back Koala. See also Dumb Dinos for similar connontations regarding Dinosaurs Are Dragons.

A Chorus of Dragons: Dragons spend the majority of their time asleep, and can slumber for decades at a time. Once, the dragon Baelosh promised the Emperor Simillion that he would hunt him down and kill him after he finished a short nap. When the short nap was over, twenty-five years had passed and Simillion was already dead.

RuneQuest: True Dragons spend the majority of their everlasting lives in deep sleep, allowing soil and plants to accumulate on their bodies and eventually making them indistinguishable from inanimate landscape features. This is a very good thing for other species, since True Dragons are the size of mountains. As they sleep, their dreams bleed over into reality in the form of Dream Dragons, Living Dreams born from the subconscious thoughts and desires of the greater beasts; these are the ravening firebreathers that most are familiar with.

My Little Pony
My Little Pony (G3): In The Princess Promenade, Spike the Dragon awakes from an 1000 year sleep to declare Wysteria the new Princess and teach her royal duties. When Wysteria decides not to be a Princess (or at least not follow the rules as strictly as Spike would like), Spike is shocked and nearly falls asleep again.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Dragonshy", a dragon only poses a passive threat because of the smoke it breathes out while sleeping. It spends most of the episode asleep on its hoard — it's stated it will keep sleeping for a century if left undisturbed — and the biggest reaction it has to the ponies before Rainbow Dash kicks it in the snout is to yawn, stretch and go right back to sleep. Not even quakes on the mountain it nests in are enough to wake it.

Sharing the Night: Dragons are born as fairly active creatures but spend increasingly long periods asleep and increasingly short ones awake as they age. Young adults, like the dragon seen in "Dragonshy", only sleep for a century or so at a time between periods of activity, but the truly ancient ones never wake at all. Aging dragons, instead of dying, simply find a good spot to sleep and stay there, letting plants and dirt gather over their slumbering forms until they become parts of the landscape. It's implied that a very large portion of Equestria, if not its entirety, lays on the backs of hundreds upon hundreds of sleeping, dreaming dragons.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts School's Canis Latinicus motto translates as "Never tickle a sleeping dragon", alluding to the idea of long-slumbering dragons who may turn fierce when woken up but are safe otherwise. However, the dragons actually seen in the books later on don't reflect this trope.

Dungeons & Dragons:
In 1st Edition Advanced D&D, all dragons encountered inside their lairs have a percentage chance of being discovered while asleep. This ranges from a low of 5% for Bahamut the Platinum Dragon to a high of 60% for a white dragon.
The Slayer's Guide to Dragons mentions how dragons must sleep for long periods of time, especially as they grow older. The oldest are only awake for fifteen minutes of every day, which means they spend nearly 99% of their time asleep. The book explains that dragons will take long naps to balance out this ratio.
Mountain landwyrms spend most of their time sleeping within their lairs or curled up on some mountain peak, during which time they're almost indistinguishable from the rocky landscape around them. Similarly, tundra landwyrms pass a large part of their lives hibernating beneath the permafrost.

Eye of the Dragon: The Black Dragon, as fearsome as it looks on the cover, turns out to be asleep when you encounter it.

Warhammer: In the modern-day, dragons need to spend extremely long periods of time asleep. This was not always so but, for poorly understood reasons possibly linked to the cooling of the volcanic mountains where they lived, they were afflicted by a species-wide state of chronic torpor. The majority of the dragon species is in perpetual hibernation deep beneath the mountains of Caledor, in the high elven homeland, waking only briefly when certain magical songs are sung, and even the dragons who live among other factions or on their own in the rest of the world spend most of their time asleep in their lairs.

Vándlat's account, by contrast, is that until Harry turned up he hadn't sensed anything worth waking up for. And as his creation and control of the Wights demonstrates, being asleep didn't really slow him down very much.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse: In the Saliva Island stage, Shantae comes across a sleeping dragon-like being called a Giga Lummox. It never wakes up in the game — a sign states that it might wake up if it picks up the smell of ham, but giving it a whiff of the food only causes it to start drooling copiously without actually waking up.

The Wandering Inn: Teriarch is quite lazy, preferring to contact his sole human friend, Lady Reinhart, through spells rather than actually visiting her. He does offer to fly to Magnolia's manor when he learns she is in danger (she's actually safe, and makes fun of the very idea he'd get out and do something), but retracts it as soon as he learns she's in no imminent peril.

Pokémon: The Original Series: While technically not a Dragon-type, the otherwise draconic Charizard is definitely lazy during his rebellious phase, rarely battling on Ash's behalf. This changes in "Charizard Chills", where he's frozen by an Ice Beam and Ash stays up all night thawing him out and warming him back up; afterwards, he's as loyal and dependable as any of Ash's other Pokémon.

Slack Wyrm features a lazy and indolent Villain Protagonist dragon whose main activities consist of lying around in his castle or on local hillsides and letting the world happen around him.

Fighting Fantasy:
Eye of the Dragon: The Black Dragon, as fearsome as it looks on the cover, turns out to be asleep when you encounter it. Unfortunately your only way out is behind the dragon's body, as such you'll need to figure a way to bypass the dragon without waking it up or be dragged into a SKILL 14 boss battle.
Legend of Zagor: The War Dragon spends most of his time asleep on his hoard. But when he is awake, you will sorely miss when he was napping...
Night Dragon: The Night Dragon spends most of the gamebook in slumber, as it spent eons slumbering to recover from the First Battle.

The Hobbit: Smaug appears to have simply been sitting on his gold for an exceedingly long time until he is enraged by Bilbo stealing from him and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. This is an allusion to Beowulf, where much the same happens — Tolkien was a scholar of English literature and is known to have studied and translated Beowulf specifically.

Flight Rising: Invoked with the Hibernal Den, which simulates the dragons hibernating for any length of time at the player's discretion. Dragons sent to the Den have limited interactivity options, but they do not require any food to maintain their energy levels.
