According to the website, TFS, we actually lose more calories while sleeping than sitting idle and watching TV. While sleeping we don’t eat or munch on snacks, but while watching TV, we get tempted to eat something by looking at the various ads of products. We get up every 30 minutes to eat or drink something while watching TV as our mind is idle and always keeps reacting to foods and drinks.
During sleep, the body is at rest and uses the energy to restore or repair itself. The calorie intake at this time is zilch. While sleeping, the body can burn up to 60 to 100 calories per hour. But calories burned during this process also depends on your muscle mass and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which differs from person to person.
The good thing about the whole story is that rest is good for your body and if you have a peaceful sleep for 7-8 hours in a day, then you burn 700-800 calories. To drop more calories while resting, you can try eating less at night, say no to alcohol, and drink a cup of green tea or milk. These small habits will also make your body lose more calories in a resting position.
