About Sleeping
While sleeping burns the fewest calories of any activity, your body is far from inactive during sleep. Sleep is when the body performs essential repair and recovery processes including muscle repair, hormone regulation, memory consolidation, and immune system strengthening. Your body still burns calories during sleep to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulation, cellular repair, and brain activity. Getting adequate sleep (7-9 hours for adults) is actually crucial for weight management, as sleep deprivation increases hunger hormones and decreases metabolic rate.
