Bloomberg Businessweek's Vanessa Wong tells WDEL News her magazine's "America's Laziest States 2010" list is based on data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' American Time Use Survey.

Rankings were based on how much time people in each state spent doing things like sleeping, watching TV or surfing the 'net compared to how much time they spent exercising, playing sports, or even on the job.

Delaware ranked 10th on the list, while Louisiana came in first.

The least lazy state?? North Dakota.
