Understanding Calories Burned During Sleep

Sleep is not just a period of rest; it's an active process where your body continues to burn calories to maintain essential functions. The number of calories burned while sleeping depends on various factors, including weight, metabolism, sleep duration, and overall health. This process, known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR), continues throughout your sleep cycle.

Calculating Sleep Calories

The basic formula considers your BMR and sleep duration:

\( Calories\ Burned = BMR \times \frac{Hours\ Slept}{24} \)
