Why is it that one is more tired if one sleeps for 8 hours than if one sleeps for 5 hours? Or (less formally) Why are you more tired after sleeping for 8 hours than after sleeping for 5?

I am not sure.

Why do you need “the top 100” to be there?

He is ranked as the 59th richest person in the world.

If you are talking about a finite scale then this would make more sense. The company is ranked 59th on the FTSE 100.

In this case the question would be – What is the companie's FTSE 100 rating / ranking?
