Calories Burned While Sleeping: Myth or Reality?


In the realm of health and fitness, the topic of how many calories do you burn sleeping often sparks curiosity and debate. While the body is at rest during slumber, its metabolic processes persist. Some argue that a significant number of calories are expended during sleep due to bodily functions like breathing, heart rate, and digestion. However, research suggests that the calorie burn during sleep is relatively modest compared to other activities. Factors such as age, weight, and metabolism play significant roles. While precise figures may vary, it's generally estimated that an average adult burns around 50-70 calories per hour during sleep. What's your take on this intriguing aspect of human physiology?
