Increase Muscle; Decrease Fat. Muscle burns more calories than fat, even when you're at rest. People who have a high percentage of lean body mass will burn more calories while sleeping.

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.
