Such as age being a factor: Seniors rest the least amount, whereas adolescents sleep the most.
Just for fun, there is a weird and rare biological disorder where a person just can not fall asleep. It isn't similar to when a person stays awake for a long period because they do feel normal, however, the eyes begin to crust and the brain starts to slowly deteriorate.
