Lubrication and/or bearings, of various types, were the new techniques adopted by human beings to reduce energy loss due to friction.
In many situations soap may be used to reduce friction. For instance, a carpenter may use soap on a wood screw to reduce the friction between the screw and the wood into which it's being driven.
Sliding friction tends to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, thermal energy being heat, kinetic energy being movement.
When the mechanical energy of an object is reduced by friction, it doesn't just disappear due to the law of conservation of energy. It turns into another form of energy instead. That other form of energy is heat.
Friction is the interaction of (relatively) opposed matter and orbital electron energy caused to displace or vibrate thereby transferring sound (or noise) energy through the matter structure due to kinetic energy being displaced in interacting atomic structures. When friction is aplied, the energy between the object increases. It can create thermal energy(heat). Depending on the objects with friction applied, the types of energy created can differ.

Friction is NOT energy. Friction is a FORCE (rather than a form of energy). It can be used in the formula: W = F·d where "W" stands for work (which IS energy), F stands for force (like friction), and "d" stands for distance over which the force is exerted. Typically when friction is present some kind of energy of motion such as mechanical energy or kinetic energy or potential energy is being transformed into heat.

According to the laws of thermodynamics, energy can never be "lost" or "made". Energy, in a closed system, is always constant. Energy can however be "lost" to the environment, for instance by friction. If you drag a box over the floor, some of the energy you are putting into moving the box is being "lost" to the environment by friction between the box and the ground (and a very small amount to air friction). You could therefor say that friction is a cause for "loss" of energy.
Friction being kinetic energy is the force of movement. In relation to getting out of bed, friction is required to move but will not assist in physical or emotional requirements to leave the bed.

Energy conservation is a term that describes any conscious effort to reduce the amount of energy being used.
Reducing its temp. heat is the most common form of energy, and when a machine has friction, it is creating heat. by reducing the amount of friction, maybe by using some kind of lubricant between the objects, it will create less heat and thus use less energy input, with a higher input to out put ratio.
