If there's one thing everyone in the world has in common, it's sleep.
But factors like genetics, work hours, and environment can influence a person's sleeping patterns – making one's ordinary night of sleep look very different from another's.
So how do the sleeping habits of people differ around the world?
A new study by PlushCare analysed Sleepcycle.com data to determine which countries are sleeping the least.
It is recommended that adults over the age of 18 should get seven or more hours of sleep each night.
So which country struggles the most with sleep?
But before that.
It's worth noting that the study showed citizens in Northern European countries, Australia and New Zealand have the highest proportion of people getting the recommended 7 to 9 hours sleep a night.
Australia and New Zealand were among the countries getting the best sleep placing 8th and 4th respectively on that list.
Australia also has the highest percentage of long sleepers (8.60 per cent) – which is 10 hours or more.
However, even among these top hitters, around a quarter of people still aren't getting the recommended amount of sleep.
So who's in the bottom 10?
In Peru data showed 53.89 per cent of people regularly got the recommended amount of sleep.
The country has 21.36 per cent of 'short sleepers' and only 4.79 per cent of 'long sleepers', with 1.83 per cent of the population using sleep aids.
Malaysia was only marginally worse than Peru with 53.79 per cent of the population getting enough sleep.
Almost 20 per cent of the population in Malaysia are considered 'short sleepers'.
Egypt comes in at 8th worst on the list with just over half (50.57 per cent) of the population getting the recommended amount of sleep.
Surprisingly the country actually ranks quite well for 'long sleepers' placing second behind Australia at 8.45 per cent.
Placed at seventh is Japan, also on 50.57 per cent.
But the country also had the 4th lowest percentage of 'long sleepers' and the 9th highest amount of 'short sleepers'.
Just 49.66 per cent of people in Kuwait get the recommended amount of sleep. The region also places 4th in the list of having the most 'short sleepers' at 28.67 per cent.
The region also places 4th in the list of having the most 'short sleepers' at 28.67 per cent.
The trend continues with Middle Eastern and East Asian countries being home to the world's worst sleepers.
In Jordan only 48.08 per cent of the population get the recommended amount of at least seven hours of sleep.
Saudi Arabia placed fourth. All up 47.6 per cent of people are getting enough sleep.
The Middle East's lack of long sleepers is more than matched by its surplus of short sleepers. One issue may be that during Ramadan, people tend to cram their social lives and extend certain working hours into the non-fasting hours after sunset. Across the 29-30 days of the festival, this reduced window of sleep may be enough to bring down the annual average.
In third place is South Korea with 45.45 per cent of people sleeping enough.
According to the BBC an intense work culture makes locals "stressed out and sleep deprived".
In second place is Iran, with only 43.42 per cent of the population getting enough sleep.
