A large number of people do not get enough sleep. According to Ayeshah Beeshi Alqarni, Nouf Jafar Alzahrani, Mohammed Ateih Alsofyani, and Asim Abdulhadi Almalki, a nation where students stay up all night to study or have fun may never achieve the success needed for its survival (Alqarni et al. 2018).

The potential obstacles to their success are sleep deprivation, irregular sleeping schedules, and daytime sleepiness.
Daytime sleepiness, according to Craig M Becker, Troy Adams, Caroline Orr, and Lyndsay Quilter, is one of the major sleeping disorders.

In contrast, male and female students who were unable to sleep well complained about poor performance and various health problems.
