Fat Loss. Despite the weight loss, you don't shed a significant amount of fat as you sleep. A 155-pound person burns about 23 calories in 30 minutes while sleeping, according to Harvard Medical School, which translates to just 368 calories over eight hours. Shedding 1 pound of fat requires a deficit of 3,500 calories, so you can only lose about 1/10 pound of fat after a full night of sleep.
Calories Burned While Sleeping. The caloric benefits of any activity vary, depending on your body mass and the frequency, intensity and duration of the activity. If weight loss is your goal, remember that 3,500 calories equals approximately 1 pound of fat. You should burn 3,500 calories more than you take in, regardless of type or intensity of physical activity, to take off 1 pound. You cannot expect to burn a large amount of calories while sleeping. If you sleep seven hours a day and weigh 110 pounds, you can expect to burn approximately 314.3 calories, according to Discovery Health. If you weigh 150 pounds or 200 pounds, you will work off an estimated 428.6 calories or 571.4 calories, respectively, in that same seven-hour stretch. A one-hour nap will recharge a 125-pound person while taking off 51 calories. For a 175-pound individual, 60 minutes will burn an estimated 71.4 calories.
