Hi 
I think it can definitely make them not so happy - not so great - and so that could come off as lazy. I always imagine their shedding to possibly feel like what we humans feel like with a bad sunburn - our skin feeling tight at first - then itchy - then peeling - etc ...
Not fun for sure!
I know when that happens to me I’m a combo of angry - agitated - and I don’t really want to move all that much at first ...
So - if you kinda think of it that way - it makes sense

Definitely not lazy, IME, but they may not want to move as much because it's uncomfortable.
I'd say (from observation) cranky, itchy, and aggravated. He really doesn't want to be messed with, so I leave him alone on shed day, which is usually over (when it finally "pops") within 24-48 hrs.
Other dragons may be different--they're all individuals.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
