From duvet wars to snoring or a partner who tosses and turns, there are a multitude of factors that get between us and a good night's sleep when we share a bed with someone.
Perhaps no surprise then, that a new study has found that single people experience the most sleep.
Seven hours and six minutes' shut-eye per night is the optimal amount needed for people to feel content, according to the survey of 2,000 adults by mattress company Amerisleep.
Those who rank themselves "perfectly happy" soak up this level of snooze per night, while "mostly happy" people sleep seven hours and "somewhat happy" people sleep 6.9 hours, the research shows.

On the relationships front, individuals who are separated get less sleep, while singletons fare best when it comes to catching a few Z's.
